We Nuked Jupiter
Jupiter may be the biggest planet in the Solar System, but its days are numbered. Because today, we're using Earth's biggest, baddest bombs to blow the gas giant into oblivion. How many nukes would you need to do the job? What obstacles would these rocket-bound bombs encounter on the way? Would one nuclear explosion ignite the entire planet? What are Kirkwood gaps?
