The missile traveled 15,000 miles an hour

The US has launched a doomsday missile test just days after President Donald Trump announced that a Golden Dome would cover the entire country—a bold national security initiative with defense infrastructure costs expected to rival federal health insurance spending.
Seemingly inspired by Israel’s Iron Dome defense system, the president announced that the US would be getting its own version known as the Golden Dome.
Trump vowed that this system would knock all missiles out of the sky with the success rate being ‘very close to 100%’ according to the president.
Trump went on to say:
“Once fully constructed, the Golden Dome will be capable of intercepting missiles even if they are launched from other sides of the world, and even if they are launched from space, forever ending the missile threat to the American homeland.”
While this was met with a lot of skepticism on social media, it seems like the project is full steam ahead
