Chris Rielage has been dragged, kicking and screaming (in a composed way, obviously), out of the world of books, ships, and tea that is his natural habitat, just to be your teacher. He is delighted to share his knowledge with you all, and will happily discuss everything from CRISPR to poetry.

Our class will cover topics including, but not limited to:
1) Basic weapon technologies, (Warhead types, missile types, MIRVs, and decoys)
2) Strategic concepts, (Targeting, Mutually Assured Destruction, Command and Control, and more)
