This is a pretty big deal. The missiles they tested officially go out to 240km (about 150 miles or so). In contrast, the Space Shuttles orbit used to be about 300km. Of course distance and height are two different/competing factors, but still EXTREMELY impressive. It means that the USN and their forthcoming 1200 SM6 missiles will have a chance at stopping 1200 ICBM warheads if positioned just just just right. Even stopping 1 would be worth all the effort. Remember, ICBMs and ballistic missiles are 75yr old technology now.
