build it, and hit the big red "ON" button so we can find out what happens.

I agree, with the exception of one minor quibble.

The red ones are usually "OFF" or "STOP".

Which means the "SELF-DESTRUCT" button really should be black or something instead of red. I can't tell you the number of times I've been 5 seconds from annihilation because of that. And they really should locate it somewhere besides right above all the other buttons.

Ant don't forget that the self destruct button should have some sort of clear plastic covering over it, so it doesn't get pushed accidentaly.

There are certain types of "ON" or "GO" buttons that are red. The "Fire" button on many weapons systems for example. But I don't think we want something that goes "boom". In fact, *that* we've already got, we call them H-bombs.

True enough. Mash the big green button, and see if Cambridge, MA disappears in a blinding white flash. (c8

Two weeks later, a scientist at Livermore says, "Gosh, looks like we forgot to carry the two, sorry 'bout that!"
