wow, dosen't it just fill you with joy and happiness to know that we can blow shit up and render areas of the Earth uninhabitable just to find out how much destruction we could cause in one go if needed.

are'nt we a bunch of clever self serving mammals .....makes you proud to be human ! [:/]

i will always struggle to arrive at the conclusions that;

atomic bombs = good

uninhabited desert = useless

its the intent of death and destruction and ruining nature for our own ends that just kinda gets in the way. Obviously if i were a rich shareholder in a defence contractor i'd think differently......because i'd be a complete arse....

I would suspect you've never been to the desert. The Anza Borrego desert is one of the most beautiful stretches of land around - especially around March, when the ocotillo bloom.

instead your a poor skydiver with the same attitude...

Don't worry the bomb that made those craters are long gone obsolete. They've got shit 1 million times more powerfull and much less big an bulkly... there now way smaller then what was needed during the years of those test. :ph34r:

im quite aware of sceintific "progress" but that kind is not progress to me.....i like life, and people and useless swathes of desert

how do you arrive at the conclusion that i have the same attitude as a profiting shareholder who dosen't mind blowing fuck out of nature ???, im with Billvon here....its wrong, and i'd prefer "useless" desert left the same way for the next generations.

on any scale its wrong.

i suppose the uninhabited SKY is useless too....well theres only a few birds use it to get about...

if i had the sort of money to invest in that kinda crap, i wouldn't because i believe its wrong.

If you're ever in Las Vegas, you can actually get a tour of the Nevada Test Site, and of the large crater---it's very impressive up close and personal, and is still technically 'hot' (I don't remember how much over background radiation it was)

http://www.nv.doe.gov/nts/tours.htm

The large crater is the 'sedan' crater. They were testing the feasibility of building Canals using nuclear weapons.

Nukes are amazing engineering feats, remember weapons don't kill people---people kill people.

I'm not too worried about blowing up useless tracts of uninhabited desert :P


is the size of those craters indicative of a fission or fusion(H-bomb) bomb?



I believe the only fusion test was Operation Ivy I believe the year was 1954, but I might be off. Those are only fission bombs
