You said -- "No trigger means...no big boom. You can get an explosive fizzle, not much more."

Perhaps I should have defined it further -- "trigger or no trigger discussion".

The point is "boom" will happen -- regardless of the details, because the *details* always follow the *decision*.

Nonsense. The Soviets decided to put men onto the Moon.

They failed. Details matter.
