I bet those aliens worship you ponies on a completely normal yet sometimes creepy scale. |

I bet Celestia is involved somehow.
That said, TO THE MOON. |

What I'd give to see the looks on their faces when they find out what a nuke is and what exactly it does.
Good times, good times. |

949, it has just been brought to my attention that the combined world arms supply is enough to destroy the planet Earth, not just depopulate, blow the very planet core to chunks. How have we not been cowed to peaceful alternative when a possibility of a big enough fight leading to the undoing of the world is common knowledge. |

^Uh... no, thats completely bogus. I think I will quote "How to destroy the Earth" on this (google it, it should be the first result):
"Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe. You've seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy the Earth. You've heard people on the news claiming that the next nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing hideous quantities of pollution into the atmosphere threatens to end the world. Fools. The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily." And on the part specifically about blowing up the Earth: "This method involves detonating a bomb so big that it blasts the Earth to pieces. This, to say the least, requires a big bomb. All the explosives mankind has ever created, nuclear or non-, gathered together and detonated simultaneously, would make a significant crater and wreck the planet's ecosystem, but barely scratch the surface of the planet. There is evidence that in the past, asteroids have hit the Earth with the explosive yield of five billion Hiroshima bombs - and such evidence is difficult to find. It is, in short, insanely difficult to significantly alter the Earth's structure with explosives." So no, the global nuclear arsenals is not sufficient to mass scatter the Earth. |

^Still though, with hundreds of bombs made when only a dozen are need to wipe out all life on this world, we still seem awfully heedless with how we wave them around. |

^"Hundreds of bombs made?"
Okay, now I'm beginning to think you are trolling here. The current stockpile of the United States consists of approx 5,000 total warheads, the 2nd largest after Russia which has almost 12,000. Note that these are TOTAL warheads, by treaty only 1,500 of these nations are ready to fire... the rest are in storage. Further, this number is down from their Cold War peaks where the respective numbers were 31,000 (USA, 1967) and 45,000 (Russia/USSR, 1986). In total, probably somewhere a little over 100,000 nuclear warheads have been manufactured since 1945. I will further note that a total nuclear war with those stocks is unlikely to even destroy humanity. Destroy the United States? Yes. Usher in a new dark age of barbarity? Yes. Cause a global collapse of civilization? Potentially. Destroy humanity? Probably not. Kill ALL life? Certainly not. Life is more resourceful then that. Multicellular life was able to survive the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs, it would be able to survive a nuclear war. It would still be suicidal for the nations in question though. |

"by treaty only 1,500 of these nations are ready to fire..."
That should read: "by treaty only 1,500 of EACH nation's stockpiles are ready to fire..." |
