You're an astronaut currently stationed in the international space station.
Lil Kim starts a nuclear war with the US that gets China, Russia and all other nuclear nations to launch it all. I'm talking all out complete world destruction. Imagine that sight and then realizing you are on your own without a hope. |

I'm talking all out complete world destruction. Imagine that sight and then realizing you are on your own without a hope. The scenario you posit reminds me of one of the story lines in the dystopian novel Lucifer's Hammer. I read the book more than 35 years ago so I don't remember many of the details except that I enjoyed it. Here's the Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer's_Hammer Immediately following the Hammer's impact, the crew of Skylab notice the launch of nuclear missiles from Russia. The American commander warns Looking Glass of the launch only to discover that the Soviets were defending themselves. China, anticipating the coming ice age had launched a preemptive nuclear attack on Russia. The last Soviet Premier reassures the US that they are not the target, and he requests help against the unprovoked attack. |

Let’s hope they took Pink Floyd for the trip. Even better during a total eclipse of the sun.
