Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, commonly known as "Star Wars" has been misrepresented in U.S. history textbooks. Six months after Reagan left office, the Department of Defense quietly launched a particle accelerator to test how a neutral particle beam would function in space. The tests were a success and the US inaugurated its use of particle beams in space— creating a real-life prototype of future "death rays" and "ray guns" once found only in Hollywood B-movies and in classified reports on unidentified flying objects. Join Justin Suran, historian, writer and Substacker for this lively and intriguing discussion. No registration is necessary.
