Star Wars fails.... again.

On February 7, 2005, the president said ""The taxpayers of America don't want us spending our money into something that's not achieving results." when speaking about his budget. I wonder if Star Wars: the national missile defense system is on the chopping block for failing to achieve results yet again.

As reported by the New York Times February 15, 2005:
"The nation's fledgling missile defense system suffered its third straight test failure when an interceptor rocket failed to launch Sunday night from its base on an island, leaving the target rocket to splash into the Pacific Ocean, the Pentagon said Monday."

"Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?" Han Solo 1977
