The New York Times > Washington > For 3rd Time in a Row, U.S. Antimissile System Fails a Test

In an earlier life I was assigned to the anti-ballistic missile defense system, then Safeguard, at Huntsville, Alabama. We were routinely hitting test ICBMs fired from Vandenberg AFB to Kwajelein Atoll. There are thousands of things that can go wrong to stop a test. But 3 failures in a row is not good news.

Get your act together, people.
