   I assume that the problem was that the incorrect target coordinates were   
   input into the missile, which is why it effectively turned left and   
   headed for the USA, rather than right and headed over the atlantic.   
      
   There's one aspect I don't understand at all.  Now, if I had been at   
   Lockheed, designing the system for the US government, I'd have inserted   
   some code in the missile so it simply could not be targeted at anywhere   
   in the USA. It's simple enough - no targets west of 40 degrees W or east   
   of 150 degrees E. That way, if the Brits ever fell out with the USA,   
   there'd be no risk to the USA from the UK nuclear deterrent.   
      
   So, why was that simple precaution not taken?
