I read the article in the Sun Journal about your visiting scientist Laura Grego and I checked out UCS and wonder if you know that the Union for Concerned Scientist has 16 scientists on staff. Hardly a number that would impress if known. When you say union what comes to mind is at least hundreds of scientist if not thousands. Scientist Grego is a Astrophysics which is the study of the universe. Nowhere in her bio did I see where she attained the knowledge or the credentials of being called space weapons and security expert. About a anti-missile base in Maine or east coast doesn’t take into account Iranian submarines with the capability to launch missiles or just any old ocean going tub could be used by Iranians to launch attacks on United States. So the Iranians could park a sub or tub 12 miles off the coast and launch nuke or conventional missiles or even launch nukes to create EMP which would render all electronic equipment useless sending us back to the 18th century. Response to such an attack would not be quick enough to be stopped from bases in Alaska and California.

I am just wondering if the students are getting the whole story.
