    And yet, here we are on the 17th March 2022. Wondering quite how prescient this video will turn out to be in the next few weeks...

    Thank you Veritasium, I can now launch a nuclear missile.
  • @orellaminx3530
    Instructions unclear, I was stopped at the gate by a very angry man with a gun and held in a dark room for 18 hours.
  • @YourBoyPawn
    Plot twist: The missile you launched was still active and you're now wanted in 189 countries.
  • @lordgarth1

  • @simmzzzz
    So this is what it takes to make Fallout a reality...
  • "So that's it? We just basically just ended life on Earth??" This line is soo good, to remind everyone that Nuclear War is no joke..
