Speaking of negative indices on the Clue axis...

A more-or-less-serious mailing list brought a link to this.

Wack-job tin-foil-hattery, plus:

The nighttime launch will be visible along much of the eastern seaboard. At some point during its flight, the rocket will likely suffer a so-called “cyber-attack”, resulting in a massive EMP-like explosion, knocking out electricity on the East Coast of America for good.

What is this I don't even...?

How does a cyber-attack turn a chemical-fueled launch vehicle into a megaton-range nuke?

Or does the cyber-attack involve physically replacing the payload with a bloody huge warhead?

I gotta get me some of that gooooood tinfoil!
