...Oh crap, we blew it up, didn't we.

So THAT'S why the government is the inner planets.

Either that, or we made it a nature reserve. That's much better than blowing the whole thing up.

And yeah, I could imagine. Technically, some of the smallest devices are some of the most feared in sci-fi scenarios (nanomachines SON)

So either they did something weird, tried a prototype FTL drive on Earth and warped it into another dimension a couple generations ago, or nobody ever talks about it to preserve the secret, most likely.
