1 ene 1984 año - Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) / “ Star Wars”

Descripción:

During the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan initiated the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), an anti-ballistic missile program that was designed to shoot down nuclear missiles in space. Otherwise known as “Star Wars,” SDI sought to create a space-based shield that would render nuclear missiles obsolete. However, this plan was not as successful as Reagan had hoped it would be. Not only did the initiative fail to dissuade the Soviet Union from investing in development of ballistic missiles, The Soviet Union also quickly identified ways to avoid a technological arms race with the United States, and focused on development of advanced missiles and anti-satellite systems to counter missile defenses.
