I close my eyes and I count up to 5. I open them and I realize that those 5 seconds were just enough for around 140,000 people to die in one only city in Japan on a hot summer morning of August 1945. I close my eyes, and I remember the fear of spreading radioactivity across Europe after the accident at Chernobyl in 1986. After 70 years, it’s time to finally “retire” nuclear weapons and the system that supports them. It’s time to show real faith in the best of mankind and perhaps we could even see the aliens in a friendlier light.
