💨 Abstract

Former U.S. President Donald Trump proposed a £130 billion "Golden Dome" defense system, reminiscent of fictional domes from "The Simpsons," "Star Wars," and Stephen King's "Under the Dome." This missile defense shield aims to counter threats from nations like Russia and China. The system, inspired by Israel's Iron Dome, would launch U.S. weapons into space to neutralize incoming missiles. Despite its serious purpose, the design has drawn comparisons to various pop culture references.
