By the 1970’s and 80’s … The Superpowers are Tired of War….

They began the policy of Détente: An easing of cold war tensions, led by US president Nixon.

President Reagan was a fierce anti communist. Reagan’s Ray Gun

The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI): Star Wars "The weapons required included space- and ground-based nuclear X-ray lasers, subatomic particle beams, and computer-guided projectiles fired by electromagnetic rail guns—all under the central control of a supercomputer system.” By using these systems, the United States planned to intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles while they still flew high above the Earth, minimizing their effects. At the end of the Strategic Defense Initiative, thirty billion dollars had been invested in the program and no laser and mirror system was ever used, not on land, not in space.
