Nukes in Space
"A single nuclear weapon carried by a ballistic missile and detonated a few hundred miles over the United States would cause "catastrophe for the nation" by damaging electricity-based networks and infrastructure, including computers and telecommunications"
My old friend Agent Flying Soucer Man used to always talk about this happening, and what a pain in the ass it would be. Said it was as good an excuse as any to drive an old precomputer car.

post a commentIt's bad for businessmen but would it really affect us post cellular, we don't care bunch? how bad would the radiation be?
The radiation would be minimal, but everything with a microchip in it would/should be toast. Cars, 18 wheelers, phones, airconditioners, cash registers, Tickle Me Elmo, everything. It would bring the transportation and communication systems to a halt. The sheep would be quite whiny with thier bleets. Good thing you have a sailboat captain, and the pillaging should be quite nice as well!
Such happy thoughts! As long as it didn't affect the water supply and soil, it'd suck, but we'd survive.
