    You’re totally right - SDI wasn’t nukes in space. Just pointing out the similarities in concept and reaction:

    • Threaten to put advanced military tech and/or weapons of some sort in space.
    • Reveal very little about what is actually being currently done and what is just plans/theory.
    • (to be seen) Use it as a negotiation tool for favorable arms-reduction or other treaties.
