IT TAKES ONLY 30 MINUTES FOR A NUKE TO TRAVEL FROM MOSCOW TO WASHINGTON An ICBM doesn’t cruise – it punches through the atmosphere, arcs through space, then drops like hellfire. First comes the boost phase, with rocket engines lighting up every satellite and early warning system in sight. Then it coasts silently across the planet in midcourse, no engine, just raw speed and gravity doing the work. In the terminal phase, the warhead reenters the atmosphere and plummets toward its target – detonating in the air for maximum devastation. Source: Viral Maniacs
