A Minotaur 4 rocket carrying the Space Based Space Surveillance satellite blasts off and heads toward orbit at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., Sep 25, 2010. The satellite is designed to detect and monitor debris, satellites, and other space objects.

The United States is currently facing a monumental challenge in its efforts to cope with hostile nuclear proliferators. The policies and the military capabilities that served the United States during the Cold War are less effective in today's environment. The U.S. government must re-valuate its military capabilities and adjust its strategy to effectively cope with hostile states and prevent those states from using their nuclear or conventional weapons against the United States and its allies, providing nuclear weapons to terrorists organizations, developing or trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and transferring nuclear weapons technology to other states.
