Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Peacemaker missile sounds like an oxymoron to me

All weapons are made for peace if you declare yourself to be defending something.

The motto of the Strategic Air Command(SAC), who flew the nuclear B-52s as well as handled the ICBMs, was "Peace is our Profession".

The name is actually Peacekeeper. City-enders like that don't make peace, but they do a decent job of keeping it under the M.A.D. doctrine.

So...what are we looking at in the picture? Launch? Reentry? Any info?

[–]xymurr 8 points9 points ago

From wikipedia: Time exposure shot of testing of the Peacekeeper re-entry vehicles at the Kwajalein Atoll, all eight fired from one missile. With live warheads, each would have the explosive power of twenty Hiroshima-sized (Little Boy) nuclear weapons.

EDIT: added wikipedia link

And outside of test conditions, each of the ten individually targetable streaks is a 300kt-475kt city destroying atomic bomb traveling at supersonic speeds. From a single launch ten cities could be destroyed.

When I first learned about MIRVs I was deeply upset for many days. I still can't quite comprehend why we'd ever build something so astonishingly and swiftly destructive.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying I agree with this, but...

The thinking behind it is that it's better to develop it yourself first and 'know' you won't ever use it than your enemy, who is obviously unbalanced whilst you are perfectly sane, develop it first.

Most of these highly destructive missiles and bombs are simply global negotiation chips which can be cashed in frequently.

Ironic name for missiles.

We have reduced the number of land based ICBMs to much smaller levels.

Our primary nuclear deterrent is our submarine force. Even as China builds our it's capabilities and Russia flexes it's muscles in Georgie, it is our submarine force that really is a force that will give people pause.

I'm for cutting carrier groups and land bases, but subs and maybe some predator and reaper drone carriers are the future.

So, the bastards have finally done it. They've managed to utilize the mechanics of Missile Command in the real world. Those fools.

Why is this the first thing I thought of when I saw this picture?

Oh, right, because I'm a Stargate nerd

Beautiful photo, but what exactly is it?

Also details on the cash the government is burning on this, if that's possible?

Peacemaker?

Does that make nukes lovemakers?

If a nuke was a lovemaker, this would be an orgy producer.
