That should be the tag line for Kraft’s Mac and “Cheese”

To be clear. The Martian satellites were placed in position to strike at Earth. They were there to be a deterrent just like the US and the Soviets had their nuclear ballistic missile submarines positioned always in striking distance of each other during the Cold War. Even though they are in a shooting war in the outer-system both planets are unharmed at this point. If Mars used them to attack Earth the UN would retaliate and it would escalate the conflict to a level that could claim the life of billions. So far they've managed to avoid that. When Earth attacked the satellites they instantly went into counter-strike mode. Mars is too far away to give the command due to the time-lag so when the satellite system detected the attack and correctly identified the source as Earth it started launching on the planet following its programming. The attack on the satellites prompted the counter-attack by the system. If they managed to strike them all at the same time they would've probably get away with it. Either way, its their own fault.

People on the Venus ship that got atomized are dead. You don't really hear about them at all from here on out so just so you don't keep wondering.

The blast that hit Earth is in South America. Goias City, southern Brazil. No spoiler here. Just context.

"The cheese isn't real, but the love that went into is." Love that line, delivered by a character who's just "hokey" enough to make it touching rather than, well, cheesy lol
