Derek Dominoe posted:Val Kilmer's magnum opus. I unironically loved this movie growing up. William Atherton was awesome at playing total dicks in every movie. (He was the reporter in Die Hard and the DA in Ghostbusters for those who can't place the name.) He wasn't a DA he worked at the EPA. That film is responsible for creating more ill-will towards the federal government and environmentalism in my generation than anything else I can think of. Ivan Reitmann might as well have been on the payroll at the Cato Institute.

Which is why his Gary Sue Protaganist also happens to be a navigator on a B-52 Which has a concorde nose and air to air missles and shoots stinger missles from it's rear end. My favorite dale brown book is when they put air to air missiles on a B2.

Mad Dragon posted:Didn't one of his books involve the hero dude wearing a suit of powered armor and the main bad guy being a meth head who was molested by his mother? Or am I getting my lovely scifi warporn authors mixed up? Nope, that's him. Tin Man was the name of that one.

Yup because one of his other characters is basically Tony Stark minus the arc reactor.

What if on the same day that Israel rolls into Gaza, and the day after the U.S. unleashes sanctions on Russia, the Russians shot down a (I'm not loving kidding) malaysian airlines flight that has citizens from pretty much every NATO member onboard.. in Ukraine.

Why did I think palace front-ing into the ANG after separating was a good idea? Whatever, we have plenty of airports over there. It's not like they'll need to build an airbase from scratch in Eastern Europe anytime soon, right?

So if this all lights off into a nuclear war tomorrow, which country do you think would be able to withstand the amazing nuclear bombardment that would be unleashed?

McMurdo Station Antarctica will last the longest. Though it won't last very long.

What are the odds on ISS crewmembers surviving for a month? Odds on US and Russian crewmembers killing each other?

Kinda depends on who has the most robust and proven anti-missile defense, and a population trained and drilled in civil defense maneuvers. To intercept all those MIRVs you'd need practically an entire hemisphere of steel over you, though

Either starve, dehydrate, run out of air, or open an airlock. None of those are fun ways. Well, running out of air wouldn't be TOO bad.

Well, running out of air wouldn't be TOO bad. Pretty sure they would just slowly decrease the oxygen percentage until it is too low to support life, but keep the CO2 scrubbers running because CO2 is what triggers the "Oh poo poo I'm suffocating" response. So they would just slowly drift off to sleep peacefully and never wake up.  edit: assuming, you know, that they don't brutally murder each other first Terrible Robot fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Jul 18, 2014 |

Probably better than slowly starving to death in a aluminum tube 200 miles above the planet after having a front row seat to everything you know and love being turned to ash. gently caress that would be awesome as poo poo to watch from the ISS. Personally in their position I'd watch the fireworks then just put on ye olde space suit and go for a really long spacewalk Gravity style
