Actually, this is subtly biased reporting, of the type "make DoD look bad
by associating its actions in this case with a project that many people
oppose". Synthetic-aperture optical systems and adaptive optics are of
interest to DoD for many things, and SDI is only one of them. For example,
it is said that adaptive optics are already flying on spy satellites, which
even the most rabid space-militarization critics agree are a good thing.
