Mind The Fall Out!

    We have talked about the rocket in Fall Out before, but I wonder what motivated No.6 to launch that rocket. Was it merely to rid the world, or himself of No.1? He had vowed to escape the Village and come back, to wipe the Village off the face of the Earth, obliterate it and No.2 with it, and had started to do so with that fire-fight with the security gaurds. Perhaps No.6 thought he could do that by launching the rocket. Mind you having said that, No.6 launched the rocket, he didn't saboatge the launching of the rocket in the same way he had with Professor Schnipps rocket in The Girl Who Was Death. Had No.6 done so, then he could easily have wiped the Village off the face of the Earth and everyone with it who had not got away during the evacuation.       BCNU.
