Our birthday is a special day - a good reminder to pause and celebrate another year of life. It\u2019s also the day we\u2019ll most likely die.\xa0

If you saw the movie Oppenheimer you know how destructively deadly nuclear weapons can be. Obviously it\u2019s not a big deal that we\u2019re missing a few of them, right?
