Mr. Hawkeye doesn't know much about munitions. Actually, I couldn't tell you the difference between a .38 or .45 calibre shell. The bomb we dropped on Afghanistan yesterday overwhelmed me in it's diminutive size, relatively speaking, along with it's ability to deliver such massive destruction.
Since I'm such a dufus on the subject of explosives, etc. I have a couple of questions. How was this bad boy loaded on the plane? Didn't I read it was a cargo craft? What lift-off was required to get the thing in the air and, finally, after the bomb was released and the weight eliminated how is it the airplane didn't lift to say---the Moon?
Feel free to offer your aeronautical wisdom. I'll be waiting.
