[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] My question on the explosion is, how much [i]physical[/i] damage would it do to the saucer at that distance? After all, a good portion of the damage in a nuclear blast is caused by the shockwaves travelling through the atmosphere. Up in orbit, the only physical contact between the blast and the saucer [i]should[/i] be the impact of whatever parts of the stardrive section that weren't destroyed outright. I've always thought a better reason for the crash whould have been to have the ship's control circuitry fried by the electromagnetic pulse of the blast. You [i]could[/i] argue that that's what really happened, except the visuals make it pretty explicit that the physical damage of the shockwave blew the saucer out of orbit. [/QB][/QUOTE]
