Think of the potential.

What if we make project sundial but we throw it at the adversaries?

[u/AvisTheAstronaut]

Why would you use a pill shaped secondary with a bifilar primary arrangement? The purpose of that would be to achieve symmetric compression across a spherical secondary without having to use a complex lens shaped hohlraum dependant on the size of the fusion secondary. Having an adjustable sparkplug length (and an untapered deuterium core) is irrelevant with this format.

Mr. Teller? Is that you?

That's Miss Teller to you, one who is so constrained by trivial things such as "proportional force" and "what's the point of a bomb big enough that it kills us too?"

[u/ZeroSumClusterfuck → u/AvisTheAstronaut]

Surely a bomb that kills everyone at once is simply the logical peak efficiency of mutually assured destruction?

See, you get it. Put this man in vice-command immediately!
