You’re describing boost-stage missile intercept. It’s incredibly hard.

For strategic use against ICBMs, yes.

For an extremely well advertised launch into a predetermined flight path of something which isn't even trying to hide its signature and where you can watch the livestream of the countdown?

Perhaps I'm still underestimating the challenge, but I think boost stage vs Starship is a much less of a challenge than boost stage vs. an actual weapon.

But yeah, given your background, if you say I'm wrong, I know to defer to you on this.
