    I used to work with a guy who was one of those 2000 marines that got to witness those 1957 tests up close and personal. I will never forget the way he used to describe just how astonishingly beautiful they were to watch. Just bursts of color and light that the films never did justice to. The way he talked about them was haunting. Needless to say he passed away in the late 80's suffering from pretty much every form of cancer known to medicine. Describing the beauty in those bombs to the end.

    There are two things not discussed in the video.
    1. The fallout is not localized. When radioactive dust goes high enough it gets into a "global" jetstream and spreads over large sections of the planet.
    2. The planet is a magnet, the EMP produced affects the ionophere and the magnetosphere, and the damage could be permanent and cumulative.

    **These videos often fail to give a proper sense of the TRUE SCALE of the bombs power because they are usually recorded in large featureless areas with no points of reference.

    And wild plum trees in tremulous white,
    Robins will wear their feathery fire,
    Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
    And not one will know of the war, not one
    Will care at last when it is done.
    Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
    If mankind perished utterly;
    And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,

      We never lost the tech to go... There is just no reason or justification for us to go back to the Moon at this current time. There are several ongoing studies looking for resources to be mined and extracted from the moon such as Helium 3, Gold, and Platinum but until deposits are found and mapped out there is just no reason to spend billions flying off to jump around on a dead rock.
      When you say "Lost" i believe you are actually referring to the lost NASA footage from several of the Moon Landings in the 60's and 70's. However, many of the tapes were in fact not lost but had been reused and had new video recorded over it.
      I agree that we are a pretty messed up species and this only seems to be worsening as time goes on. It will get to a point where Humans will either grow past the need for warfare and violence or we will eradicate ourselves in the pursuit of it.

    I knew a guy who died a few years back, met him late in his life, who was one of the participants in the military testing of effects on nuclear weapons on troops on a battlefield. He went in 4-6 hours later, and once even had one detonated live over them (relatively speaking) while in fortified trenches, to simulate how ground tactics & movement of soldiers in case of nuclear war (back then, they equiped small scale nukes to damn near everything thinking that's how future battles would be fought).
    He fought in Vietnam, became a Navy Seal, and eventually retired working for the CIA after running missions in Germany & South America. He had signed all sorts of nondisclosure agreements, but he began sharing his stories when he knew the cancer was at a stage that death was imminent. It was insane hearing the hardship & suffering he endured, especially later in life due to so much radioactive contamination. Thankfully, they did provide payments & support to his family, which allowed him to peacefully accept the decisions he made.

    • @codym348
      @codym348 3 роки тому

      Coolest souvenir I have is a piece of stone from the Raven Rock Mountain Complex, which was built in the early 50s as a nuclear bunker for the government in case the Cold War got hot. Had to get a bunch of clearances to go there and we had to sign a paper saying that if we saw anyone recognizable we'd keep it to ourselves (we didn't anyway, just some capitol police to make sure nobody went exploring). We were there to do some surveying-type stuff outside and so obviously didn't get a tour or anything, but our escort was telling us about it. It was built to accommodate something like 500 people for a decade (government officials ONLY, no families), it's got three underground lakes, it's some crazy distance beneath the surface, things like that. The doors were big enough to drive a bus through, and I remember one was open and it was just yellow sodium lights lining a tunnel as far as I could see. I think he told us the place is maintained but not actually used for anything nowadays. Like I said, we weren't privy to anything you can't look up on the internet, but it's still kind of cool to pick up that rock and think about how that was the very last line of defense for the United States.

      SongBird this not the most peaceful time in history. Since 2003 we have had 42 or 43 wars and using that we can estimate there will be between 150 and 272 wars by 2100, which is a lot more than all of the wars of the 1900s.

      @@Lootroq It's not like someone was just passing by with their smart phone and happened upon a nuclear test that they "caught on film." These were deliberately filmed from dozens of angles, with several types of cameras and measuring equipment, meticulously thought out to capture everything and anything that the technology allowed for at the time. They didn't want to miss a single moment of the blast. Everything had to be understood about these bombs and their destructive power.
      After all, they intended use was to destroy everything. There's tragic irony in there.

    Regarding Operation Teapot,, you forgot the Sailor Hat shot. It was a non nuclear / non atomic blast with a yield of 500 Tons ( of actual TNT ) designed to study the effect of the shockwave on US Navy retired boats without having to deal with the radioactive effects. It happened in Hawaii at the westmost tip of the westmost island. The boats were moored a few hundred meters from the shore / ground zero and did endure some impressive damage.
    Regarding Operation Dominic in 1962, you forgot the "frigate bird" shot which was the first ever test of a nuclear tipped Polaris missile launched ( from standard launch depth ) from the USS Ethan Allen nuclear submarine. The test was successfull, the warhead exploded exactly where it was expected to, yielding something between 1.5 and 2 Megatons. Not sure if was near Chritsmas Island or Johnston Islands that this warhead exploded. Some weeks later, a 2nd test of the same nature named Harlem yielded nearly twice the power of Frigate Bird... Thus the US became the first ever country to fully test the trio : nuclear sub + nuclear tipped sea launched missile + actual thermonuclear warhead delivered nearly 2 thousand kilometers away from the launch sub.. Also, Operation Dominic was in reply to the insane and surprise Soviet test of the infamous Tsar Bomba ( actual yield 57 MT ) on October 30th, 1961 over Novaya Zemlya near the arctic circle thus breaking unilaterally the moratorium on atmospheric tests. Some time later, JFK decided to launch Operation Dominic. ( For reference, the most powerful US test was Castle Bravo ( bikini) with a yield of 15 MT, on February 28th 1954 local time or March 1st 1954 US mainland time, also the greatest radiological disaster ever experienced by the US during its numerous test campaigns. Yield was much greater than anticipated ( 6 MT ) and the winds carried the fallout to the east instead of the west, contaminating several inhabited atolls of the Marshall Islands )
    Andreï Sakharov, the chief physicist in charge of the Tsar Bomba only had three months to design that bomb. Said the fallout would kill half a million people worldwide ( Initial design was to be a 100 MT design but he obtained from Krutschev to halve the yield because for a 100 MT design, the initial fireball would have been larger than the thickness of the atmosphere. So it was a three or four stage 50 MT design with an actual yield a bit greater ). Another Tour de Force was that the Tsar Bomba was air delivered by a real bomber, a modified Tupolev Tu-22 or a Tu-95, I don't remember exactly, despite the enormous weight of that design ( 27 metric tons ). As predicted by Sakharov, fallout from the Tsar Bomba was found nearly everywhere on the planet. After that, Sakharov refused to build any other thermonuke for the Soviet Union. He was assigned to permanent residence at his home. Because of this, he also earned the Nobel Peace Price in 1963. Also, the mushroom cloud of the AN-602 or RS-220 ( Tsar Bomba ) rose to approx 200,000 feet, approx 60 kilometers. End of Story.
