- At a time when the game of nuclear chicken very nearly got out of hand the superpowers continued to test nuclear weapons in space with both surprising and frightening consequences. In this video we look at why we needed to test nukes in space.

This is the spin off or part two of a video I did about 9 month earlier which was about the nuclear test grounds and what happened to them ua-cam.com/video/KcTrOGS3TyE/v-deo.html . Only operation Argos was a self contained test series, the others Yucca, Teak & Orange where part of operation Hardtack and Operation Fishbowl which included the infamous "Starfish Prime" and "Bluegill" was the final set of space tests and part of Operation Dominic.
The naming convention "Prime" was added to tests if the first one failed, so "Starfish Prime" was the second test because the first one failed in some way. If it had more than one failure it would be called double prime or triple prime. Bluegill was actually "Bluegill Triple Prime" as it was the third attempt at getting the test to work.
I thought I read somewhere, there was an attempt to blow a portion of the the Van Allen belt away.
Curious Droid I have some questions about space travel. Can I ask them here , ? Hoping you could answer them.
If these high - altitude tests of nuclear bombs caused these reciprocating, high - energy, Aurora - producing phenomena, i wonder what effects they still have today? I wonder if the satellites that run into the range of these phenomena lose telecommunication abilities and can't propagate cell phone signals. Could these phenomena be active in some way today and still cause interference?
Or even cause interference with microwave radiation itself if the energy is lower, kicking people off the Internet and their cell phones and causing the Internet to misfunction?
Fantastic episode mate. Keep up the great work.
Was not a test.., have you ever thought of that?
*discovers magnetic fields around Earth*
"Neat. Let's nuke it."
Kinda like a kid’s instinct to see how far you can bend something before it breaks. XP
why i fucking hate people
You mean the dome
@@goldenratio1921 If you blow the dome away, little Jesus pee would rain all over us. Better just make a small hole somewhere above N.Korea or Afghanistan.
Setting off nukes in low earth orbit wipes out satellites and wrecks electrical grids. Who would have known? Also, all the missile failures with warheads attached. It's a miracle that some poor Pacific Islanders, Australia, or Hawaii didn't get accidentally nuked. Unbelievable idiocy. Lucky thing the USA and Russia are now threatening to build "usable" smaller nukes. Gotta keep up 20th century lunacy.
I love this channel so much. It is what the discovery channel should have been. Thank you for doing what you do.
If this was on the Discovery Channel he would have a two foot long beard, be in a garage in Alaska building custom motocycles for ghosthunters out of parts that may have been designed by ancient aliens.
It is what the Discovery Channel once was.
Discovery is the biggest crap that there is ...
Internet > Tv
Discovery Channel was once like that. And the History Channel actually had history on it once. And Mtv actually had music videos on it once. True story. I don't know WTF happened.
US and USSR: "If it wasn't me and it wasn't you, who was it then?"
I always felt like the US and USSR are long lost brothers, but its just a feeling.
I don’t like how the word We is used, when humans do realy stupid things
@@justanuff we are the direct opposite of each other really. Deep down Russia is severely jealous of us. So much so they want to destabilize us so they can become a world power, without actually having to grow.
It was israel he told that in the video
@@saqibhussain9795 then it wasn’t We was it
"Why Did We Test Nukes in Space?" Well, I didn't. That leaves you.
Best channel ever. You need a greater budget. fantastic quality
Agreed. Well, researched and excellent presentation.
Great production values
deee dawwwggg He isn’t just talking over a screen capture of the Wikipedia pages.
We're all telling him "Shut up and take my money!" He really makes great videos.
They get billions over what the government puts into budget reports
Well, that shirt blew out my monitor. I can only imagine what an EMP would do.
lmfao
looks radioactive to me ... geez. no mirror at home ??
mesmeric
He dressed for the occasion wearing nuclear testing tropical island shirt fashion.
I thought it looked like Jupiter 🤔. Funny comment 👍😂
What an amazing spectacle! Really brought me back half a century. I also really like how you included the background story of nuclear bombs in space to illustrate the features of the shirt.
It still amazes me the timeline of testing nukes. Finding the ability to split atoms or whatever and then we literally try to blow up everything, even space. I still feel "we" are using the energy wrong.
Once you realize its not actual humans doing this, but other species trapped here and trying to break our dome to escape it all makes sense. 10 years ago I would have called myself insane. But there is no denying the truth any longer.
this was super interesting. Had no idea about any of this. Please make a video about this neutron bomb!
cyrilio I can tell you it’s banned unanimously and any known to posses one are welcoming the world to flatten that country. It’s also a very nasty concept of a weapon, but if you needed to purge a plague uncontrollable. It would be a very good solution if humanity was at risk of extinction.
@@1014p It is at risk. Let's flatten that country right now and all those around it too.
Israel.have those and they do not allow UN teams to inspect them either. But their lobbying in the West keeps them save from.any sanctions or action against them
The Soviet _Project K_ tests was actually much more informative in terms of EMP effects because its relatively low altitude of the burst and the fact it took out above-ground power lines, underground power lines and even a power station showed how dangerous EMP could bel.
When I was 4 or 5 years old living in southern California we watched the visual effects from one of these tests . I have never seen anything like it since .
Scott Johnson what did it look like
sure
I suppose it's not impossible - when was it, that is what test would it have been, can you remember?
1965 it had many different colored gasses coming from a single point and lasted for about 30 minutes . I remember they announced it on the radio and everyone on our street was watching it.
Knowing about some of this already, it is still amazing to see all the insanity humanity has produced/invented. We truly are our own worst enemies.
Thank you for fascinating videos/lectures.
Agreed. Just a virus.
earths enemy...A Cancer when we show up..
Humanity don't do things like this; only white folks baby, only white folks.
@@rodneycook345 Heard about China, India, Pakistan and Middle East desire for Nuclear power?
These tests also provided a lot of scientific knowledge.
Thank you so much for using metric! Awesome video!
@Carlos Saraiva No the UK is allways the oposite of Europe
@Carlos Saraiva we are a wierd mix of metric and imperial. You learn both systems in school
Metric is stupid thats why its dying out.
Yeah, nukes should never be measured in megapounds.
Follow The Grow u know that only 3 countries use the imperial system, and the metric is more logical
That shirt you have on looks like you have been time warped from the '70's. The afterglow it produces is intense.
this has superb footage (not to mention your explanations and descriptions) that I have never seen before. I have spent three winters on night shift watching explosions on youtube. Also you're sense of fashion is something to be reckoned with.
Folks... The shirt was intentional. The pattern is based on the afterglow.
Lee Chowning
I know
It BURNS my eyes
MY EYESSSS!!!
Goes well with the van Allen belt, eh...PS Did any tests like these happen over the Pocono Mtns.during 1969-71? More than just I saw. Local press said something about high altitude weather balloons
After viewing the last thing I recalled seeing was a red flash .
Really was something different ...
michael armstrong it was just a military flare going out🤣
Shirt was white originally but was used to collect the beta particles
@@michaelarmstrong11 The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a nuclear test. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
I saw the bright, weird aurora colors in the sky from Operation Starfish Prime at the age of 8 in 1962 in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was treated like a big light show to be watched for fun.

that would be awesome to see.

Why do I feel like he is going to betray me to the queen after explaining this video?
Very interesting, i now know why we have holes in our ozone layer, and the cover ups to blame other products
Just to see what would happen. That's the logic behind 99% of my life.
You mean the ones that start with "Here, hold my beer and watch this!" ?
@Ray Be kind to others, it goes a long way I keep falling off my bike I almost fractured my wrist for the third time but it was a sprain
Sounds familiar...
My grandfather was on the USS Rendova and got to witness both the Ivy Mike and Ivy King nuclear blasts first hand. The first successful tests of a thermonuclear device by the US. Ever since I learned about that I've been fascinated by anything nuclear.
Lost a friend it think from the Ivy Mike blast. Who gets leukemia after 75. Nuclear Vets......
"Due to equipment issues on the ships none of this data was recorded".
Welcome to the unknown effects of EMP at that time!
Discovery channel can learn some things from you!!
Would you please make a video on neutron bomb & As always an awesome & interesting video!!
Yes please do :)
Yeah that would be good.
I would watch that, for sure 👍
Low yield. Lots of radiation
Everyone dies. There. Done
Technically, a neutron bomb is any nuclear device where the lethal radius of the neutron pulse is larger than the lethal radius of the fireball/blast/thermal components of the explosion.
All sub-10 kiloton weapons fit that criterion. Additionally, careful design of the fusion stage of "boosted fission" and thermonuclear weapons coupled with using s radiation case that's transparent to neutrons can significantly enhance the lethal radius of the neutron pulse.
Above 10 kilotons, blast and thermal effects begin to outstrip the neutron pulse, as does the fireball.
Where do you find this stuff!?! This is the first I have heard of how nukes could blind radar. Fascinating!
I was a radar technician in the Navy. Radars are transceivers. That is to say that the same radio that transmits a radar pulse, switches from a transmitting mode to a listening mode. This is accomplished by utilizing a blanking pulse at the beginning of transmission mode to turn off the sensitive receiver during the transmitter's pulse.
Any electromagnetic pulse will overpower a radar's sensitive receiver if it occurs outside of the equipment's internally generated and sychronized blanking signals.
Since radar information accuracy is highly dependent upon the timing and synchronization of signals, (a radar mile is 12.36 microseconds which is the time it takes light to travel from the transmitter to the target that is one nautical mile away and return to the same antenna) any disruption to the internal radar synchronization will "blind" any radar system.
@@MrBrelindm) Whats a Radar Kilometer in microseconds?
Red Rooster, speed of light, just under 300,000km/sec
.001 km or 1m per microsecond
@@shlibbermacshlibber4106 shouldn't it be 300 m per microsecond?
That would be 300 million km per second
Paul, thanks so much for the history on this. Younger people who didn't grow up in the first Cold War (we're in a second one now, arguably) this might help them understand just how un-hinged various chapters of this time period got. And knowing this history as deeply as possible might, just might, help us humans navigate the growing new 'great power' conflicts - and maybe dial down the heat.
No wonder our ozone layer is stuffed and we’re getting fried. Thanks guys.
When he said they conducted tests at the South Atlantic Anomaly, my spider senses went tingling. So i went to check. The SAA was discovered in 1958, according to Wiki. And the Operation Argus was conducted between August and September of... 1958! Coincidence? Or... they poked a hole up there?
I find it hard to believe they planned and prepared a highly complex task force to conduct an even more complex test, in an an anomaly they just "discovered" around the same time! Such expeditions usually take years to plan! And they did something this complex, on the spot?? On the back of a napkin? Hardly something you expect from the US Navy. Since i don´t believe in such coincidences, i am led to believe something´s afoot. I expect the dates are wrong. Because if they aren´t... Well... Color me confused!
Governments can do this, but I can't use R-22 in my air conditioner. Or use hairspray. or have a Halon fire extinguisher.
Seems fair. :)
Haha ryt all tha burden on us
Haha! So true!

The govt is one of us in there. And they change and keep changing. Hopefully we get term limits in Congress too.
But here, it's also the combined long lasting effect of millions to billions of you using those sprays which are harmful all around the earth.
This is one of your best videos so far! Packed with comprehensive and surprising information. Being a space and physics fan, I really enjoyed it. Thank you :)
Great vid, but the mushroom cloud doesn't need debris, sand etc. sucked into the Hypocentre to form the "Cap" of the Cloud. This is the rising and cooling Fireball going through changes as it interacts with atmospheric layers and conditions. If the Height of Burst allows the Fireball to avoid touching the Surface, varies with Air-Burst HOB and Device Yield, the blast will produce a "Cap" without the "Stalk". If detonated at a lower atmospheric height, an Air-Burst will form a Cap and the Stalk will start growing from the Surface.
Hope the helps!
Cheers for the vids!
Gets his sense of fashion from the first top gear seasons
As with every CD video, just great...... informative, concise, interesting, very understandable..... my list could go on and on! Thank you to you and your “team” for producing such great content.... Oh, And I almost forgot to say..... your reserve of awesome shirts, seems literally endless!!!! 👍👏🍻
Absolutely stunning topic and video! Best channel on youtube!
if you like this, check out the Event Horizin channel.
... Fascinating! The video too. Not only the shirt. But jokes aside, I learn so much of many of those videos! I enjoy them a great deal. And his idea with the different eccentric shirts is also genius
This scared the hell out of me. Besides physical damage to hardware of the day, what residual effects are still at play (if any) from these high-altitude detonations?
I’m sure a lot. Human beings are stupid because of sin.
I love the information that you're giving us but SWEET JESUS!, our species is absolutely nuts.
I'm embarrassed
I find myself embarrassed by Liberals and Republicans and people who are neither. AKA Our species is absolutely nuts.

Great video. This is almost like Fascinating Horror. Didn't know about the Vela incident before.
When I was a youngster we lived in atlanta georgia, my dad was driving down I-20 toward atlanta. My mom worked at gradey memorial hospital around midnight in a 1965 mustang I was in the back seat with my head layed back looking out the rear window when the whole sky was instantly filled with red clouds boiling down at us. I alerted my dad as I thought we about all die. He saw it but as fast as it was there it had already started to fade. This filled the whole horizon. My father called the meterlogical center and they said it was atomospherical testing but I thought it was nukes. This had to be around 1968 to 1969
Damn, I wish Varys were a teacher in my university
@Flearther McPlane Calm down. Being so hateful uses a lot of energy.
@Flearther McPlane To begin, I believe you misunderstood the original posted comment. He was making a joke referencing a character in a popular tv show, correlating how the host in the video resembles the character. It's not original, several people have made the same joke on other videos but that is besides the point.
The point I want to make however is about how anything you just said has any relevance to what I or the original commenter said. I replied to you because your comment was unnecessary . It was a needlessly hateful comment directed at somebody, probably a teenager, when all he was trying to do was tell a joke. You obviously misunderstood the context and immediately went in with your own perceived agenda which I'm not contesting. We can talk politics or societal observations if you want but this isn't the original subject matter.
I can tell from the way you talk that you are likely from the older generation. So please, let the kid be. Show some humility and direct your rhetoric where it is appropriate.
@Flearther McPlane lol you are a joke
@Flearther McPlane sure man, I dont blindly follow what people see or post and do my own research, you are just crazy man
@Flearther McPlane im not religous and just believe what is taught to me because its the norm, but the world is a globe
Another fascinating vid Paul, really enjoyed. Scary to think they only stopped for concern of satellites and EWR, instead of the effects on life.
Terrifying indeed.
I don't think direct impact on life was substantial with these tests. People nowadays tend to overestimate impact of artificial radiation and neglect radioactive background and cosmic radiation.
Unless intentionally salted a nuke detonation itself does not produce that much radioactive fallout. Still bad but not uninhabitable for decades bad. If detonated on the ground it kicks up and iradiates tons of dirt and dust causing the really nasty fallout that sticks around for a while.
It was good data get but I'm glad they stopped as well. Too many risks associated with the things to keep pushing.
What was the effect on life? Maybe not that much...
We're made up of a lot of water, those high energy electrons could induce in living things
I was lucky enough to have seen one in Miami Florida many years ago. Thanks so much for this video! I looked for years to confirm what it was but never found any info. I suspected it was a nuke in space since i saw it that night. It was a three stage rocket and then i saw the expansion ring when it exploded.
really wowww
When I was a kid, we lived in Honolulu and witnessed the Starfish Prime test. A countdown on the radio, a bright flash - darkness - then the sky lit up green for several minutes! Since then, study and consideration of nuclear weapons led me to the conclusion that these are not only WMDs affecting politics and people, but are weapons of astronomical proportion. Not only for the life of humankind, but for the life of our planet, they must never be used again. Nuclear weapons are certainly by far the greatest threat we face today and will be for sometime to come.
Great video, as always! I never knew that there were other high-altitude nuclear tests other than Starfish Prime - and then comes Curious Droid showing so much more... Thank you!
Space nukes... the moment the aliens turned their ships around and said 'yep... they are idiots...'
👍
They later got Independence Day on HBO.. and were like "dude, wtf is wrong with these people?"
firing shots at jesus magic carpet. got to keep them away so they don't liberate you slaves
Sadly for us, any aliens that could get here would most likely have such advanced technology that they would consider our nukes to be cute little toys.
Can't eat them. Too many preservatives and high in radiation.
I was sitting in my bed the other night wondering what would happen if we blew a nuke up in space, and then I find this video without any searching..
That visual of a nuke exploding in space (at about 5:20 elapsed) was actually used in the first episode of the 2004 Battlestar Galactica miniseries. Near the end of that episode, the ship carrying the president of the colonies (Colonial One, formerly Colonial Heavy 798) was intercepted by a Cylon raider, and sets off an EMP to simulate a nuclear detonation, blinding the Cylons and escaping from the attack. The Galactica monitors this remotely with their DRADIS system (the colonial equivalent of RADAR, more or less), which gives an image of the simulated detonation which looks rather similar to the actual nuke in space detonation.
Always nice seeing a new Curious Droid video!
Great content as always! Love the cadence of your voice, too. )
My grandfather was a scientist working directly on these projects and it had nothing to do with what you are claiming. I mean the mission names alone should tell you a lot. In very short, they were attempting to break through some form of dome encapsulating us to earth, hence ; Operation Fishbowl, turn the fishbowl up side down and that’s what they failed to break through.
Trying to crack the dome to kill us all, operation fishbowl
Did the nuke blast in space create that shirt?
I think it was used to wipe a unicorns arsehole.
I'm only here for shirt comments 😂

Give the guy a break. His stylist was sick w/Covid-19. The shirt is a shirt.
I'm glad I'm not crazy and knew they did test nukes in space. Because all the other video I have seen are about "if they did". I guess not knowing it happened already more than once. Great video!

Yet, NASA is still better than you and anyone like you
@@SamSalhi this video had the same ol' textbook pseudoscience of the spinning ball myth & you called it a wealth of info? Brainwashed 101..... there's no such thing as "space" as you cannot have two pressure gradients next to each other without a barrier (atmosphere next to vacuum w/o dispersing), so we're under some sort of enclosure.
NASAs credibility = 0 & that equation is still more scientifically accurate than anything nasa has ever put out,
I'd rather trust a serial killer not to murder again over nasa's fake cgi pictures, lol. Their ball drawings are worse than a 3rd graders refrigerator paintings.... you really need to do your research.

Keep producing these insights, great little documentaries!👁👍
This video should make all people feel very secure. Isn't it heartwarming to know that the military seems to be in charge of human survival. What could go wrong?
Not the military, the crazy politicians.
Lighten up...... think positively, maybe some day we'll nuke our earth into a star?? & maybe this is how all the stars were created.
Dont use fluorides for getting high😅
Honestly, I think the military are more sensible than the civilians in command. After all, the US military has treated climate change as real for many decades now, and for mist of the time the right-wing stance has been straight denial.
@@DrWhom the military worried about climate change? Hmm... what's really their motive? Worried about climate change but goes to war against other countries for oil? Now isn't that funny :)
Awesome channel! Subbed after the first minute of this video.
This channel is the best. You make a great job
Brutal what we do to our planet....
And ourselves!
Nature can get along without us (research Chernobyl today and see the restoration of wildlife and rare species there). It's up to us to quietly and peacefully make our nests in accord with nature.
The planet has survived wayyyy worse, like doomsday meteors

Nah, we’re not pissed off in the slightest. Now that we have proof, we know we are correct and the billions of “Roundists” are wrong. Their loss but as long as nobody comes crying when they get shot at by the people guarding the ice-wall.
holy shit, man, i'm still wondering how are we still here after the cold war, with all the nuke tests goin on everywhere, underwater, in space, on the ground, underground, wtf those people were thinking????????
Thanks for the video! Great work!
7:06 *This Guy.....*
Hops up and places a pressure gun into a nuclear warhead,
*This Guy is a Legend....*
I thought the same. I mean there should have been a blocking or safety mechanism, otherwise... Well probably there wasn’t.
I see that varys had settled down in youtube and made his own channel after the show was over, very nice.
A remarkably appropriate shirt for the subject at hand.
Nuclear testing in the upper atmospere , I guess that's one way to try to get outside the atmosphere ? Sounds dangerous as hell though !
Small correction. @2:55 you say Sputnik 2, but is in fact Sputnik 3.
When Curious Droid and Scott Manley each drop a nuclear vid on the same day.
Warning shots!
We dont want those aliens getting cocky we need to show them what we can do.
If they just have the tech to notice they would likely laugh at our galactic equivalent to sticks and stones...when they can turn the entire energy output of a star into a single beam that can literally turn the Earth into plasma....Hell they could just jettison their garbage at relativistic speeds and annihilate half the planet
I remember hearing about them testing Nuclear bombs in space but have never actually seen any of this, ty for the video!! It was really informative and I wonder how those phone calls went after they knocked power out in Hawaii
This was as much fascinating as it was terrifying.
This caused concern with the universal space federation and aliens came to look at what is happening with us
I agree. thanks god they are here!!!
We would have blown ourselves apart if not for constant intervention!!
Yeah did you know they have stopped us nuking space multiple times? They are starting to see us a threat
Problem is, they probably won't detect it for hundreds to millions of years depending on how far they are.
Oh no, not Finland?!
Hey man, nice channel! Anyway, although they don't do nucleair tests anymore. The big power can still calculate and design. Nowadays there are a lot of computers and mobile devices used for personal, business and military use. So do you think they specifically design nucleair bombs for this EMP effect to disrupt the communication and computing capabilities of the enemy. And yes I have seen the James Bond movie about this subject. But my question how serious are these kind of designs?
Interesting to know the effect of nuclear stuff in space with regards to craft going through them. Nerva, fission pulse rockets, and these tests are a problem.
Blowing up atmospheric nukes should be a science mod in KSP
1973 wants it's shirt back!
Enjoyed the video.
I don't bloody believe it.
I thought this was posted 12 minutes ago, darn my cursed eyes LOL.
I was searching up the behavior of nuclear weaponry in space and UA-cam recommended this to me. I think the feds are onto me, mang.
This video blew my mind. How little the typical person knows about the military capability is frightening. And this info which must have been classified is so old. I can't imagine what the capability is now that I have not even a close idea must be. This video opened up my eyes a lot wider.
Makes the gun debate pointless. A dude with an AR can't do anything to a government with this kind of power... And that's 60 years ago.
That doesn't make the debate "pointless" by any means.
And that's just flawed logic in general.
It absolutely does not. The military bases in the USA are unarmed to keep some Soldier from going ballistic and killing a bunch of people. The only ones on base with a loaded gun is the military police. If a militia would form to stop a rogue government, they can overwhelming the bases and take over all of the military equipment.
Not to mention the hypothetical oppressive government doesn't want to preside over a nuclear wasteland.
@@Bryan-Hensley - I'd like to see a militia magically spring out of the ground overnight and somehow take every military base without the government catching wind of it before it even happens, or before any major traction is gained. That's just fantasy.
@@Taima the bases aren't armed. Not much they could do even if they got wind of it. Do you think the military will unleash on it's own neighbors and possibly family even if they could. It's even against the Constitution. I kinda think it's like that on purpose. There's plenty of former military personnel who knows where things are. It wouldn't be hard. That's why the deep state government works so hard at keeping us divided. If just 1 percent of the population United it would be a serious threat to the government. Our founders were concerned about a rogue government taking over.
Never knew Gold-Dust From WWF was so smart
