Missile Defense Works!

Sort of. It works if the missile you're shooting at doesn't have any counter measures. Wow, I'm so impressed. Ignoring the political implications of this there are some engineers who should be very embarrassed right now. Embarrassed that some idiot considered this a successful test and told the media about it.

Weren't we arguing about this 8 years ago? Wasn't this supposed to work by now? I mean, really work in a test that wasn't screwed up?
