On page 138 at the bottom, it is written:

"...(compare that to the largest nuclear bomb ever built, which had a yield of about 100 megatons)."

This is techincally incurrect.

The largest bomb ever built had a yield of 50 megatons (the Soviet, "Czar Bomba"). That same bomb, when planned, was set for a yield of 100, yes, but wasn't built to that standard. She topped off as a triple stager, yielding a mighty impressive 50 megatons- so powerful that when exploded, in Siberiria, she broke windows in Finland.
