Subj: Worst Case Scenario
NASA once had a rule about not giving astronauts 'No Win' scenarios, to keep them from being discouraged. A scenario in a simulator always had a pre-defined proceedure that would allow the astronauts to beat the scenario and bring the capsule home. This worked right up until a No Win scenario happened in space and they had to come up with a solution or three astronauts wouldn't come home. Suffice to say, NASA changed their training regime soon afterwards.
Thus, it's only by truly considering the worst case scenario that we can really be prepared to handle anything.
Tomorrow morning, the President of the United States calls a special session of congress. After speaking at lenth about days of infamy, staying the course, axes of evil and corruption of precious bodily fluids calls on Congress to declare that a state of war exists between the United States and Fenspace. For whatever reason, the bombing begins in Five Minutes.
How do we win? Or Not Loose.
"We don't" in this case not being an acceptable conclusion.
The Marines are coming. The floor is open to suggestions on how to make them go away.
