EMP

Perhaps the most potentially consequential story touching space in 2017 involves the North Korean ICBM that could reach America.

The American media tends to couch that threat in terms of losing a city, but the bigger threat involves creating an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, by detonating a thermonuclear bomb in space.  That could take down the U. S. power grid.
