    Then the big news here is Switzerland overtaking the U.S.A and Japan and moving to #3. Watch out, the future will be a noisy place of yodeling and coo-coo clocks, and your cheese will have empty voids in it.

    And it's not done yet, it will rise in the sky tomorrow and attack you again. Day after day, it will seek you out, it's relentless.

    Would would be "fallout" goes into stratosphere and gets distributed around the world. One could calculate a theoretical amount of harm to the populace that might do, but proving any one person had a disease because of it would be impossible.

    You have misconception about EMP, that is from a burst done between certain altitudes. Also, you might want to read about the most recent experiments done on groups of normal automobilles with EMP levels ranging up the highest that could be encounted in an EMP attack. It was very disappointing for the doomsday crowd, out of 100 vehicles a few needed to be restarrted and had spurious dashboard lights on, how annoying and boring for the automobile commuter, HAHA! EMP taking out a reactor will not be an issue if the USA uses nuclear warfare against NK. Ground burst on a reactor would, but would be more sensible to just kill human life.

    if "color emojis" is touted as a major system feature, you know your dealing with a distro that panders to juveniles. Just as systemd makes them squeal. "oooo, my system boots up faster!"

    Even with that shielding effect of atmosphere and magnetic field, the Sun still kills a million people a year with radiation. Dangerous thing, that Sun.

    you're overestimating how much mass we can move to Mars by conventional rockets. We can't send the ISS to Mars, our biggest rocket can send 8 tons to Mars transfer orbit. We're going to send up 57 of those to push the ISS to Mars? thousands of them for your 100 year colony's supplies.

    No, we need powered fusion rockets.

    north korea can actually make a fusion weapon? I've only seen yields consistent with a boosted fission weapon. North Korea has no weapons with sufficient power to attack the USA with EMP. It's hot air.
