      That just made me think - how big is a 500 kg in comparison to other bombs? I just looked it up and the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was 64 kg of enriched uranium. I would imagine the “super uranium” we bring back would be even more potent.

      But these things don’t feel like they’re nearly 8x bigger than atomic weapons…

        I dont think we get to call in actual nukes, they are probably just really massive conventional bombs. For reference, the ICBMs we sometimes have to launch in missions are most likely nukes, and they create a properly big explosion, filling out like half the skybox
