	Can someone please explain why, when the first Soviet missle explodes
	near the dense pack, destroying some of the MX'es, this won't set off
	a chain reaction that would destroy the remainder of the MX'es?


Nuclear weapons are not firecrackers. A nuclear device will not explode
just because another one blew up on top of it.
