The orbiters are not capable of staying in space for longer than about two weeks.

Completely changing all devices would be so much simpler than completely changing all devices (Many of which have already been changed)! Brilliant!

You may be slightly less visible on radar, but you're screaming "I'M HERE!!!!" in so many other ways it doesn't matter.

Yes. Being intentionally precise is not difficult. A fire accidentally setting off each explosive within the tiny fraction of a second required is incredibly unlikely. This is not a difficult concept, if you pull your head out of your ass.

Even if the core had been loaded, HE-implosion based nuclear bombs require incredibly precise timing of the explosives to compress the core to criticality. You could never get a nuclear detonation from a bomb in a fire. It is essentially impossible to detonate one of these unless you do it on purpose. It would have been a dirty bomb, yes, and dangerous. But 6 figure immediate death toll? Only if you have no concept of how these bombs work.

Haystack was designed to circumvent government censorship in Iran. If it doesn't work, it can get people killed.

Yes, I'm sure the Streisand effect will resurrect the central server and allow the software to be used again.

So the way you choose to deal with a "barbaric religion" is to become just like them?

Right, Christians have never, ever committed terrorism.

Has the last few years really made people this fucking stupid?

The IRA and Abortion Clinic bombers would like a word with you.
