  1. 8:38 you can see the implosion is going a few percent the speed of light. That's fast.

  2. 10,000,000 Ci is instant death.

  3. Minor mistake on the proton proton chain (6:30). It is not electron capture on 2-He, it's p + p --> positron + neutrino. The positron goes onto annihilate a random electron (releasing gamma rays), and the neutrino caries energy (2.3% of the total) and it radiates lepton number (which is conserved, and you have to get rid of it to have 1/2 protons turn into neutrons at the end).
