The main body of my post was directed at some of the diner nuances of your post, specifically those related to blowing up the atmosphere and getting into space.ffxfriek said:i meant that if alien ships are also in orbit they could easily destroy anything we send into space.....bodyklok said:Yes, nukes would obliterate our atmosphere, that's why, after the first nuclear test, the entire world was reduced to a lifeless, radioactive, husk and we're all dead.ffxfriek said:That is if they are only on the groudn the nuke wouldnt work in space since the aliens could shoot that stuff down. and wouldnt the nuke rip apart in the atmosphere?bodyklok said:Nuke from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.
Oh yes, how would we get into space?ffxfriek said:and how would we even get to space to begin with.
*Looks at the hundreds of satellites in orbit*
I have no idea, I guess it's impossible.

IF the aliens come to destroy us they would surely destroy all space ANYTIHNG in space then move in troops....bodyklok said:The main body of my post was directed at some of the diner nuances of your post, specifically those related to blowing up the atmosphere and getting into space.ffxfriek said:i meant that if alien ships are also in orbit they could easily destroy anything we send into space.....bodyklok said:Yes, nukes would obliterate our atmosphere, that's why, after the first nuclear test, the entire world was reduced to a lifeless, radioactive, husk and we're all dead.ffxfriek said:That is if they are only on the groudn the nuke wouldnt work in space since the aliens could shoot that stuff down. and wouldnt the nuke rip apart in the atmosphere?bodyklok said:Nuke from orbit.

But for the purposes of debate; firstly, in order to intercept and destroy an oncoming missiles one would need to hit said missile with something, like a laser or some shit, this works fine in practice but every missile defence system has a critical volume it can deal with, or in other words, if you spam it with missiles it will fail anyway. We have more than enough nuclear missiles to spare.
Secondly, re-read what I said

DID I FUCKING SAY "HURR DURR LETS NUKE SPACE SHIPS"? NO I FUCKING DIDN'T, THE ORBIT WAS THERE FOR A REASON.
Not if we hide the nukes on the moon, they can't destroy the moon.ffxfriek said:IF the aliens come to destroy us they would surely destroy all space ANYTIHNG in space then move in troops....bodyklok said:The main body of my post was directed at some of the diner nuances of your post, specifically those related to blowing up the atmosphere and getting into space.ffxfriek said:i meant that if alien ships are also in orbit they could easily destroy anything we send into space.....bodyklok said:Yes, nukes would obliterate our atmosphere, that's why, after the first nuclear test, the entire world was reduced to a lifeless, radioactive, husk and we're all dead.ffxfriek said:That is if they are only on the groudn the nuke wouldnt work in space since the aliens could shoot that stuff down. and wouldnt the nuke rip apart in the atmosphere?bodyklok said:Nuke from orbit.
