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.

Why the size of the cites increased during the gilded age
Hitman42 [59]
It increased because industrialization & mass production came to replace lots of jobs. So a farmer for example was replaced by machines and so he and his family would have to move from a rural area (farm) to an urban area (city) to get work doing hard labor in factories. The size of cities also grew because at this time the railroads made getting from places easier than ever and allowed many people to move to cities. Cities were also were many companies would set up factories and workers moved their to be closer to their jobs
