I disagree, IMHO. There should be a difference between weapons which can destroy ships/bases with even thousands of ADUs, and weapons which can destroy planetary surfaces, with what? billions? trillions? of ADUs.
AFA the destroy-the-world-with-nukes thing, I think we could destroy the eco-system easily; but if we could sustain life for near-indefinite periods in space conditions, we could probably also sustain life near-indefinitely in shelters underground.
