The Costs of False Security: The Fallacy of National Missile Defense and Weapons in Space

Can national missile defense actually protect us? Can we justify its massive price tag? In this special episode of Nukes of Hazard, recorded live at our annual conference themed "$1 Trillion and Counting: The Pentagon Budget Squeezing Our Real Security," experts Andrew Facini, Joe Cirincione, Dr. Laura Grego, and Clayton Swopes take on misguided ideas about national missile defense. From historic programs to present-day concepts like the "Golden Dome," the panel discusses the financial and technical limits of space weapons — and makes the compelling case for an alternative security solution.
