- baubino 8mo agoThis was my thought as well given the length of time of the closure.
- karlkloss 8mo ago3.6 roentgen you say?
- massysett 8mo agoWouldn’t the Nevada Test Site be much better for this? Huge, government controlled, no major airports or cities, and moreover, already used for this sort of thing.

- dboreham 8mo agoNo because there's no enemy there to shoot at.
- K0balt 8mo agoProbably just closing the airspace for the space alien emissary.
- c420 8mo agoWelcome. Tremendous to have you here. Really historic. Some people said it couldn’t happen, but I said keep an open mind, and now look. Intergalactic diplomacy. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. We’re ready to make a deal, a fair deal, maybe the best deal in the galaxy.
- lvspiff 8mo agoIf there was ever a time for a Mars Attacks style invasion it is now
- Stevvo 8mo agoI think not; it's not somewhere you can conduct a nuclear test without starting a war with Mexico. However it is interesting to look at the TFR area in Google maps; it looks just like a nuclear test site, but the craters are natural volcanoes.
- lazide 8mo agoMexico isn’t going to start a war with the US. it would last a week at most, and they’d end up glowing even more than if the us ‘downwinded’ them all year.
- mikkupikku 8mo agoIf Mexico went to war with America they would rely on asymmetric insurgency tactics. They have no shortage of sympathetic people in America, not just Mexican nationals but native born Americans as well. America hasn't dealt with a genuine domestic insurgency situation before.
- beAbU 8mo agoThat's exactly what russia thought before invading the Ukraine.
- IsTom 8mo agoWell, somebody has suggested nuking a tornado before. Why not a vulcano?
