and said that while they're trained to follow orders quickly, there's nothing against going about carrying out the order verrrrry slooooowly in order to buy time. (I'm assuming at that stage, there is a protocol to follow that would allow someone to intervene and stop the process in order to prevent certain disaster.) So anyway, apparently that's the plan in the event that Trump goes (even further) off the rails and gives the launch order.
That said, I can't believe we even have to think about this. Don't get me wrong. It's certainly a valid concern. It's just kind of insane that we have a madman at the helm that is so unstable that we have to question what safeguards are in place in the event that he becomes completely unhinged.
BTW, I blame Obama for this. If he had gotten off his butt and fast-tracked that whole "colonize Mars" thing, I could have been out of here and on my way to Mars and wouldn't have to worry about any of this crap.
