Re: OT- Impact of an asteriod hitting Eastern USA
Narf, nuke warheads are always measured in kilotons of TNT, the amount of that required to produce an equvilent explosion.
The problem is in space, you have no air. No air and you have no overpressure, no bLast wave..no concusive effects. Its conciveable that even the space shuttle could survive a fairly near miss with a nuke in space, most of the force is lost.
