Why Did We Test Nukes in Space?

[@CuriousDroid]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZS3o4J9iJiHr6c . 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.

Curious Droid I have some questions about space travel. Can I ask them here , ? Hoping you could answer them.

[@ginnyjollykidd]

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?

Low yield. Lots of radiation Everyone dies. There. Done

[@kdarkwynde]

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!

[@MrBrelindm]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

@@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.

[@nikshmenga]

With present day proliferation Nuclear bombs can be valuable as defensive threats but are literately "useless" as offensive weapons. In hindsight, it's shocking and moronic that the military of at least eight nations have detonated 2,056 nuclear test explosions in every way imaginable to perfect weapons that are too destructive to use. Forgetting all the resources squandered on explosions, how much money has been spent on nuclear arsenals currently parked all over the planet? It's no small wonder that the extra terrestrial Aliens are steering well clear of the idiot inhabitants of this planet. "Run away!"

[@ginnyjollykidd]

And I don't trust several countries that have detonated nuclear missiles of their own.

[@hkr667]

But isn't the irony here that nukes would have no defensive value if they would not be able to wipe out a different country? Nukes create the situation and effect of MAD, not mutually assured blown-up-building-somewhere-miles-away-from-the-capitol. That would deter no one.

[@nikshmenga]

@@ginnyjollykidd The U.S. - having used nukes with the intent of influencing Japan's behavior - would have preferred a monopoly on nuclear weapons: if the Soviet Union attacked any NATO country they would be nuked. Of course the USSR didn't have much trust and so developed their own nuclear weapons just to have some peace. And so on. Now, the North Koreans, seeing what happened in Iraq so that Dick Cheney could have a good night's sleep, would like their own deterrent - hugely expensive weapons they hope never to use. Considering the leaders of nine countries have spent ginormous amounts of money on nuclear deterrents just to sleep in peace, you shouldn't worry about the less trusty countries.

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!

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.
