    You’re clearly falling for the clickbait articles. This is not a world ender and will not cause radioactive fallout. Read better articles.

      The earths crust has radioactive material. Anything that fires loads of it into the sky could cause fallout. It surely depends where it lands, but it’s also not outside the realm of possibility.

      Edit: you’re probably right.

        Idk what to say. I am reading articles directly from NASA and other reputable sources, and it says the damage would be bad for a city but localized. I haven’t seen a single thing about fallout. So if you have some articles you’d like to share that says otherwise, by all means please share them. However the experts aren’t saying that so idk.

          I feel like this is a microcosm of the internet.

          There’s like zero trust in letting lifelong experts tell you what’s going on, and how to respond. And nodding your head. I guess people have always had their own takes, questionable sources and such for millenia, but it feels like we’ve passed a threshold.

            No one trusts institutions so they assume that the experts are lying to them to further some political agenda or whatever. Add in AI bullshit that has flooded the Internet, so no one trusts articles anymore. Also most people just simply don’t have good critical thinking skills. It’s all really bad.
