Imagine living 10 minutes away from that, and not giving a shit about NASA.

I live in Ohio, and I had no idea there was a rocket launch today. Maybe they're more tuned into these things, living right there, but imagine if they aren't.

You're just in your back yard, and you see trump droning on and on and on. He's starting new wars, doing new shit every day.

And then without warning you see a fireball mushroom explosion and think "OH FUCK, DID WE JUST GET NUKED???"

Because yes, thats clearly smaller than a nuke, but in person, 10 minutes down the road? It might not be so obvious. Especially when you mix in fear, panic, and survival instincts.

It's just a surprise mushroom cloud explosion.

Pretty sure I'd piss myself. But that's fine. It's Florida. I'd fit right in smelling of piss and soot.
