"Original" helps this go better. ....the idea of missiles and interceptors is all about angles. So....I submit to you, fresh from our morning snow in DC a canine interception of an ice missile lobbed at it. The center image shows the missile clearly. The first image shows the canine carefully calculating the angle and degree of thrust required to intercept the missile (already aloft). The second and third images demonstrate clearly the angle of propulsion of our anti missile missile. The fourth image is taken a fraction of a second before impact (perfect calculations by our super intelligent super computer) our heroic interceptor is on the perfect trajectory and the helpless ice missle is doomed.. The last 3 pics show quite clearly that often, after a successful intercept, fragmentation of the missile can leave a bad taste in the mouth....even with a perfectly calculated set of intercept angles.
