Are you saying they were possible to live with before?

They were not quite so smug when they were missing.

My recollections of Navy space operations was the weekly launch pad explosions of the Vanguard project.

Oh, pshaw. I bet I could make that shot too, if I had tens of millions of dollars worth of ABM guided missiles, plus the launch and tracking infrastructure to support it.

Good job, Navy. May your shooting be just as effective when some tin-pot dictator unwisely decides to lob a few nukes our way.
