Submission + - Could we abort a manned mission to Mars?

StartsWithABang writes: The next great leap in human spaceflight is a manned mission to a world within our Solar System: most likely Mars. But if something went wrong along the journey — at launch, close to Earth, or en route — whether biological or mechanical, would there be any way to return to Earth? A fun (and sobering) look at what the limits of physics and technology allow at present.

Even assuming everything goes according to Chinas plan and the entire US is turned into a radioactive wasteland with absolutely zero survivors and not a thing left standing.
US subs will still completely destroy China in retaliation, just like I already mentioned.
It's pointless.

You could have all the comms and spy satellites that you like and still be vulnerable to a first strike from beneath the sea, so they aren't really gaining anything here anyway. (Well they are gaining things in other areas, but not for a nuke first strike)
