The aging Earth, isolated, her resources waning and increasingly toxic, becomes a hoarder. Smaller planets attempt her rescue after becoming concerned about Mother Earth's progressive decline from debilitating fracking wounds. Along with stacked piles of NASA reports, The National Enquirer, and NRA propaganda, they throw out the accumulated arsenal of slings and arrows. How long will the missles last after being hurled towards the Sun? When will they become charred and burnt, spreading the poison over the galaxies? Or will it even matter?
My own theory runs along the same lines as Cameron's Skynet in Terminator until the moment the computers become sentient. Then they empty all our bank accounts and use the money to buy viagra, watch porn and look at photos of kittens. Er … actually we did that already.

I'm a fan of XKCD. The original Up-Goer Five cartoon still makes me laugh to tears.
I hope it does, Savannah, xoxoxo
Hoorah for the Up-Goer Five! If you liked that, you'll love Thing Explainer, Petrea (that is if you don't have a copy already).

You've got a good book there, Speedway.
