So if this happens after 8 PM, with the current administration, we are totally screwed.

Hey Shawn! Retired Air Force PJ here. Love your show and your choice of guests. Learn a-lot each episode. Wanted to add some info: Annie correctly stated than no ICBM OR SLBM can be recalled, however, each of these vehicles CAN be stopped mid flight. If there is an inadvertent launch or a vehicle malfunction after launch it can be detonated and brought down during boost phase. I've watched it happen at Vandenberg where we test launch the Minuteman III ICBM. Plus the warhead is not affected. One can drop a nuke on a nuke without detonating the first. Anyway, just info. Cheers brother.

“It’s illegal to have nuclear weapons in space.” I would wager a hefty amount of money betting that we have nukes in space.

I could listen to her for hours she has the most calming voice and her intelligence is paramount.

Her voice is soothing to my soul. 50 minutes in and I already bought her book.

Listening to her talking about billions of people burning in intense fires is like slipping into a warm bath
