CHEKIT: "And now, the purple dusk of twilight time..."



The difficulties faced by the U.S. missile defense program are well-documented - but cast into a more puzzling light this week.

No small feat for an agency that was, until recently, struggling to regain relevance. I mean, seriously - did you know that those two little rovers are still running?
