Post by: Pete on October 16, 2020, 08:08:55 AM: The nukes in space idea is fantastic. We should also time the space nukes to coincide with holidays so that we can watch them at night with gathered family and loved ones. "What are you guys doing for the Thanksgiving Space Nukes this year? Want to watch from our place, we have a new kerosene heater for the deck?"

Thread related, there is a scene in the expanse where a giant space net collects a bunch of space nukes.
