Out of curiosity as to where the 2012 International Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature might be held, I typed โSBL International 2012โ into a search engine.
This quickly led me to a site which informed me that โAccording to the SBL project director, the extra functions of SBL include โdefending/attacking anti-space-based fights (i.e., anti-satellite missions); โpreventing enemy use of space (such as destroying enemy launching); preventing information input/output of satellites (likely to use low-energy beams to jam satellites rather than directly destroying them); โdefending/attacking anti-space fightsโ and โstriking high-altitude planes, cruise missiles and unmanned aircraftโ. Although the efficiency of SBL is uncertain, the adverse current of space weaponization has appeared.โ
It seems like there are indeed interesting things planned for 2012 involving SBL! ๐
