Speaking personally, I guess I had always hoped that the folks running the nuclear program in any given country were slightly more...stable?

. In 1996, a meteorite exploded over Greenland with a force of 100 kilotons (much greater than the June Mediterranean blast of 12 kilotons).
I had no idea this had happened! Scary stuff!!

A large meteorite exploding in Earth's atmosphere could trigger a nuclear warNever fear. I'm sure our congress can just pass a law against meteorites exploding in our atmosphere. I'm sure if the enviro-whackos lobby them lavishly enough, they can pass it before they adjourn for the year. Especially if the media climbs on board...

Would the fireball from a SNO (Small Near-Earth Object) be a SNOball??
