Those ashes must have surprisingly large average particulate sizes, damn.

Would be easier to just heavily ionize the ash before dispersal, it would fuck up at least a few sats which will lose stationkeeping ability

yeah I was thinking they stayed clumped together since there's no air around there anyway

so a heap of ash moving at a few km/s should still work btw shouldn't the dust get ionized up there anyway?

solar wind would slowly do it but I don't think that's enough, ideally I was thinking of something like secondary electron generation, \

I just love the background music so much. It's like the most cheesy upbeat 70s early electronic music, with nukes in the background.
