Yesterday, 26th of September was Stanislav Petrov Day.
A day to celebrate that you, me, everyone isn't nuclear vapour right now.
SP - disobeyed orders and military protocol, used his own thinking, and by doing so averted nuclear retaliation based on false alarms that would likely have caused a mass nuclear war in 1983.
Stanislav Petrov, often referred to as "The man who saved the world" died in December 2017
@ohyran I thought it would mean that there would be a few hundred million people now, living short lives, but the few old with valorous stories on the glorious war they wages for the glorious leader.
I am saying it's worse. As far as i can see, history is unlikely to end after any of our potentially horrible catastrophes.
@ohyran He got a new vacuum for his heroism.
No joke. It's canon. Saves world, gets vacuum.
