(VO: Vandenberg launch) First, the target missile...a Minuteman II
equipped with a mock warhead...blasted off from a California Air Force Base.
Then... about 20 minutes later and some 48-hundred miles away...

NAT SOT (Kwajalein launch)

(VO:) ...the interceptor rocketed from a launch pad on Kwajalein Island
in the mid-Pacific.
High-powered cameras followed the intercept missile as it zeroed in on the Minuteman. 144 miles above the Earth...the so-called "kill vehicle" slammed into its target.
The Pentagon immediately proclaimed the test a technological triumph.

(SOT/LT. GEN. RONALD KADISH, USAF, BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE ORG.)
"We believe we have a successful test in all aspects at this time."

(VO:) It bolsters the President's hopes for a missile defense
system...and gives his supporters new ammunition to push for billions in funding for additional tests.

(SOT/TRENT LOTT, R-MISSISSIPPI, MINORITY LEADER)
"They hit a bullet with a bullet, and it does work. We can develop that capability.

(VO:) But, missile defense is a diplomatic minefield.

Chinese President Jiang Zemin...an avowed opponent of a US missile shield... is in Moscow to huddle with Russian President Putin. Russia's Foreign Ministry said the US tests threaten the cornerstone ABM Treaty.

(SOT/JOE CIRINCIONE, CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT)
"This is the linchpin in an interlocking system of agreements and treaties that have reduced nuclear threats and kept the peace for 40 years."

(VO:) And scientists warn unless the US can persuade Russia to accept
a "limited" missile defense system...the Cold War threat could be renewed.

(SOT/TOM COLLINA, UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS)
"If one side builds defenses, the other side increases offenses. And therefore the first side that built the defenses, builds more offenses again, that's called an arms race. We don't want that."

(ORR CLOSE:)
President Bush gets a chance this week to make his case for missile defense in meetings with European allies and the Russian President. But it will be a tough sell, perhaps even tougher... say critics... than the technical challenge of developing a missile shield itself.Bob Orr, CBS News, Pentagon.

NUMBER 2 THE LANDING ZONE. WOOD CHIPS AND SAND HAVE GIVE... BUT GRASS AND ASPHALT DON'T. WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER LAND ON? AND EVEN WHEN IT IS THE GOOD STUFF TO LAND ON - MAKE SURE ITS FREE OF BROKEN GLASS AND OTHER JUNK.
AND NUMBER THREE ON THE SAFETY LIST. MAKE SURE THE EQUIPMENT FITS THE AGE. THAT MEANS HAND AND GUARDRAILS ON WALKWAYS AND STAIRS ARE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOUR CHILD'S SIZE.
