Oh. OK, right. What was I thinking? Clearly a thermonuclear weapon based on fusing 1.9*1029 kilograms of hydrogen would be ENTIRELY inadequate. :)

In my defense, it has been a really long time since I saw Gunbuster. I do, however, still remember Jer "The Barbarian" Johnson turning to me and remarking in awe, "They've got Jupiter in there."
