Summary
The SDI (Strategic Defence Initiative) also known as "Star Wars" desired a defensive set up across the United States capable of shooting down incoming missiles from space. On the other hand, the Soviets could not keep up with this advanced and costly sort of science. The Arms Race only fizzled out in 1985 when Mikhail Gorbachev took control of the USSR.
