Instead of Undercover Boss how about they just swap out the CEO with some rando employee.

Full asset swap, debt included.

See if Bezos likes being a picker in an un-airconditioned warehouse!

See if the market actually cares who is in charge!

instead of undercover boss we just hand out helmet cams and start the french revolution and hand the footage to Ken Burns afterwards

The technical principle is straightforward enough, but why? Russia couldn't exactly loiter them off our coast so there's no first strike advantage over ICBMs and SLBMs, and as far as I know Russian subs still provide them plenty of second strike capacity. Is it that these fly at lower trajectories so they can defeat anti ballistic countermeasures?

I think it's to fool countermeasures by allowing them to take circuitous/unpredictable routes to their target that would otherwise consume too much traditional propellent.

What's going to be interesting is exactly how much fissile material that reactor comprised of and how many bits it's in. And I mean blobs really, what ever happened to it I'm assuming the thing melted because you can't build one of those things and run it as an engine in anything less than "10 degrees hotter and the entire assembly melts" mode. And it exploded. Maybe as stuff oxidises on the sea floor it'll go prompt critical again! Who knows.

I'm pretty sure they don't know.

If you want to listen to something funny and a little lighter about America today, listen to this:

http://thedollop.libsyn.com/125-puritans-and-the-quakers

In the 17th century two giant groups of assholes had an rear end in a top hat contest in the colonies.

In the Red corner, wearing black and white from head to toe, the man most likely to gently caress you in the rear end at night while you're in the stocks, Puritan Joe!

In the Blue corner, wearing absolutely nothing at all and a hat made of actual fire, the person who's high school year book simply labeled him as "that guy", it's Quaker Quinn!

Who won? It's worth the hour.

It seems that the launch site was located on the coast pointing north. Russians launch, missile fails and falls into the sea. They attempt recovery and the missile blows.The radiation follows wind currents back to land, but there could not have been that much fissile material in a cruise missile.

Russia is actually attempting to show that they care by ordering the evacuation and then cancel it ether to prevent panic, bad press, or the rad levels are not really that high.
