All in all, the Defiant was a really ingenious idea that didn't work out all that well in practice.

How is it a really ingenious idea? Some dude basically said "hey check this out, you know tanks have like turrets on top? Let's do this poo poo on a plane". Nobody else did it because in every other air force there was another dude that took about ten seconds to think about it and said "no, that poo poo's retarded".

Yeah this sounds like a disaster: American budgeting and project management combined with famed soviet engineering!! Two awful tastes that lead to dead astronauts together.

I'm fairly sure that inferior Soviet rockets were taking stuff up to the space station every time a space shuttle crashed due to extreme conditions such as a small dog farting during launch.
