Are Nukes dead ?

a reply to: Bedlam

I know they can detect the ones going off.

I was taking about the sensor package on the MILSTAR sats that can pick up the high velocity spin offs of enriched uranium.

I know some oddball yet not for consumption features of the newer MILSTAR sats, (and the DSP constellation) but not that one.

I assume you're talking about a gamma spectrometer?

If the nuke's not putting out much in the way of radiation to begin with, by the time you get nearly 26,000 miles away, you're never ever going to localize even strong gamma emissions. A satellite in geosync is not a useful thing for that sort of service. You need to be really close.

Hell, even scanning with [redacted] is tough, and you have to map out existing sources before you go looking.

eta: even enriched uranium isn't all that radioactive. The half-life's nearly a billion years.

etaa: MILSTAR needs updating. But I wouldn't bet on a geosync bird managing to spot nukes on the ground even with the best sensors we got.

Eh this may not be for consumption either, I'll have a dig a leave it somewhere arbitrary for you to find it.

Drones: they're not just for blowing up Ahmed anymore.

Sometimes I feel like a yahoo dancing around the point.

Nukes aren't dead, but I think the next big weapon will be anti mater bombs teleported above the target city. Perhaps it's time to make peace.

I believe in make love not war. At least that's what I tell the ladies.

Nukes are so gosh darn 80,s..Exotic matter is where dam bomb is now

I would think the interferrometric stuff would suffice,but they now have better.

I wonder what's in orbit on Russia ,China,and us.

In the first 2 paragraphs it mentions 'tesla' 'scalar Waves' and 'lasers'.

Bedlam will have s field day with this one lol

Grabbin some Popcorn and a good scotch..

All I can say is - there are no scalar waves. It's a creation of Bearden. Like Zog.

I've yet to see anything in bibliotecleyapades that is actually correct. It's sort of like EducateYourself in that regard.

I'm still waiting on bearden to rejuvenate my wieners.

Hey, baby, you turn that thing on with nothing in it, you get monsters. Monsters from the ID.

Strategic nukes wont die off until ABM systems are all but 100% reliable.
The need to keep a stock of strategic nukes on ICBM platforms will remain until there is zero chance of any other nuclear power launching a devastating attack. There is no way to stop a massive attack by, say Russia at the moment, but the knowledge that a similar or larger scale retaliatory strike will follow stops anyone pressing the button.

a reply to: Bedlam

you know the ID monster and bearden do have a resemblance. .....wait a minute ! (pokes bearden with a stick to make sure hes not sleeping.)

Nukes are the worlds largest suicide bombs. They deter nothing.
They are not Dead, but they should be confined to the history bin.

a reply to: BASSPLYR

You should have been there for the story in person.

It's interesting. They turned the thing on with nothing in it. At some point, someone must have chosen the form of the Destructor, and something like a Pacific Tree Octopus with teeth came busting out. They had to chase it around the lab and the surrounding area until they caught it and killed it.

One can only hope that someone said "I dunno what's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is"
