"Star Wars" Was the misguided brainchild of Ronald Reagan.
The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), commonly called Star Wars after the popular science fiction movies of the time, was proposed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan on March 23, 1983[1] to use ground-based and space-based systems to protect the United States from attack by strategic nuclear ballistic missiles. The initiative focused on strategic defense rather than the previous strategic offense doctrine of Mutual assured destruction (MAD).

SDI was proposed by Reagan. However, Johnson and Nixon researched orbiting nuclear launch platforms.
