For the first time the U.S. Missile Defense Agency destroyed a missile moving 4000 miles per hour or more over the ocean near California. A modified Boing 747 was used. Please read above web article for more details. Reagan's Stars Wars defense is here 30 years later. The laser moves at 670 million mph so the missile was no match for this since it was directed by two guidance lasers.
