The system was dubbed Star Wars.

The Strategic Defense Initiative was a missile defense system intended to protect the United States from attacks from nuclear weapons. It was announced  by President Reagan on 23 March 1983.

The SDI was nicknamed 'Star Wars' by the Democrat  Senator Ted Kennedy, after the 1977 film by George Lucas.

SDI focused on intercepting and destroying enemy missiles with lase beams, using x-rays lasers. Chemical laser was also in use, as well as neutral particle beam and hyper- velocity railgun.

SDI officially ended in 1993, under the Clinton administration.

How did Motion pictures have an impact on society? 1 paragraph if possible.
Kipish [7]
<span>Still photography changed the entire course of visual contact . For the first time people could see the reality of another place. The civil war was the first widely photographically documented war, and the pictures of the bodies were more powerful that words could ever be. With pictures, people could see the world without traveling it, they could see people without ever meeting them. As technology grew, bringing motion pictures, and color film, the world became a smaller place in terms of being able to see it, but a much larger place in knowing what there was in it.</span>
