Project Orion is a really cool concept that could actually have worked. The idea was to build spaceships powered by exploding 'small' nuclear bombs behind them. A pressure plate at the back transferred the energy to the spaceship, allowing it to reach much higher speeds than is feasible with chemical rocket technology. And because it's in space, for once, the radiation is not so much of an issue. Except for the whole getting it into space thing...

I have a theory about the ramjet nuclear missiles, the Americans realized how easy it is to build one of these so all soviet needed was to have the idea. So by stating that they can build one they've essentially told the Soviets that they will build it if they ever attempt to do so. So it becomes kinda a "we won't build it if you don't" type deal. Particularly when the US made it clear that they have all technology necessary already so they could whip it up in no time.

This fella was USAF back in the 90s/2000s and was a Blackhawk pilot and never got into it past that other than loving their Stinger missles hahaha. With stress comes passion and he brought a new level to teaching. More like encompassing the class in knowledge like bright lights and shiny surfaces. The man dressed as a Spartan, armor and all for Greek Day which he propossed as an idea to the committee. The man had a one on one with me cause I was chunky back then and it was either fight or temper with some idiots. He leveled with me since he was chunky too at one point. It was good to have someone looking out for me in the battlefield and in the classroom. I studied chemical engineering later on and went from 255lbs to 175 with practically no loose skin since it was early enough. He's probably got you by 20 years now, but the passion you both hold helps me keep that part of the past close in heart. May the Good Lord further Equip Mr. Terry and Mr. Carter.

I have to mention that the USA nuked the sky over the Pacific Ocean and sent jets to collect the mushroom cloud, then they rushed to the lab before it decayed so they could analyze it for new elements, the worst thing is that it worked that is how they discovered element 99 and element 100.

[@thunderatigervideo]

I grew up about half an hour from EBR 1, which was the first nuclear breeder reactor. It’s a museum now (really fun, by the way, for nerds like me) and outside of it it has an engine that was meant to be the first nuclear powered aircraft engine. Never worked (for MANY reasons) but it’s really interesting and HUGE. So nuclear power has been an idea for lots of things.

[@killman369547]

Yeah. There was a time where they did try to shove a nuclear reactor into pretty much everything with varying degrees of success. There were attempts at nuclear powered cars, trains, trucks etc. The idea with the most potential though was nuclear powered cargo ships. That never really went anywhere back then due to cheap oil. But today it might get a 2nd look.

@@killman369547 Nuclear powered aircraft carriers could provide a good blueprint for those cargo ships. Submarines, too. Ocean-going craft have a pretty good track record with nuclear reactors.

[@Cyberdemon11120]

So a lot of people don't know this, but Thermonuclear devices, or Hydrogen Bombs, didn't get more explosive potential from the fusion reaction. That is, the fusion reaction itself didn't create an explosion. The principle behind adding a fusion reaction to a standard nuclear fission reaction, known as Tritium Boosting, was done to introduce more Neutrons to the fission reaction process and increasing the efficiency of the bomb by properly fissioning more of the Plutonium/Uranium instead of just vaporizing it and spreading in all directions (which is where the long term Nuclear Fallout conditions come from). In fact, the largest Thermonuclear device ever used, Tzar Bomba, was also the most efficient and responsible for the least radioactive fallout ever recorded for a detonated Thermonuclear nuclear device, with Ground Zero of the bomb site being safe to visit and walk over merely 2 hours after detonation. This design principle has already been used to make nuclear weapons more compact for use in ICBMs, among other things. So it actually stands to reason, that Thermonuclear devices still have the potential to be used in mass excavation, provided the designs are further refined and can reliably achieve the same (or better) efficiency as the Tzar Bomba.

[@joshportal2808]

There were actually 5 projects that used Nuclear weapons for non lethal purposes the United States did that original video did not mention. (1)In 1951 there was a crazy idea to nuke a hurricane and in 1952 a category 2 hurricane was hit with a hydrogen bomb. Instead of destroying the hurricane it became the first category 5 hurricane to make landfall in America. The project with all its information did not become public until 2008. (2)In 1964 there was a crazy idea to nuke the moon. It happened in an annoying space mission in 1988. Basically sent trash into outer space and see the costs. Basically to see if it would be a cheaper option to get rid of all of America’s trash instead of burning or Burying it. There was about half a ton of regular trash and a nuclear device from 1955 in it. The trash was launched at the moon and about 6 days later the nuclear device exploded on the moon. It was said to be part of operation Space Wars until 2016. (3) In 1959 there was an Island made into a trash island and was nuked. The idea was to extremely burn trash instead of regular burying or burning. It worked but the Island became radioactive. America kept doing tests like these until 1965. 5 of America’s smallest uninhabited islands were destroyed off the map and ocean. (4) In 1955 there was an attempt in the Mojave desert to dig for oil with a nuclear device. They did get to the oil but also burn most of the oil itself. It was tried again in 1974 in Alaska for natural gas. It caused an international issue and almost started a war with the USSR. It destroyed most of the natural gas which had a line that went under Soviet territory. Luckily no person was harmed but for a year the Soviets thought America tried to attack their underground gas lines. (5) In 1977 before most people in the world knew there was a hole in the Ozone, a weird join operation between America and the Soviet Union started and lasted 6 months. Basically both countries shot nukes at the area where the hole thought to be. The belief was the radioactive material would be thick enough to cover the hole. Instead a good amount of radioactive material spread through the south hemisphere of the world. Mind you generation 1 nukes were used, no hydrogen bombs. The last 3 projects were released to the public in 2020.

[@glennchartrand5411]

The canal idea was to put the bombs in shafts so deep the explosion wouldnt reach the surface They would create huge voids deep underground All of the radioactive contamination would remain in the void created by the blast then the ground above the void would sag down and fill it in creating a depression on the surface. Between drilling shafts that deep and the cost of the bombs , it was actually cheaper to dig one conventionally, but it was faster. You could create a canal in months instead of decades. The program was a cover story for researching to see if it was possible to rapidly create a replacement for the Suez Canal in an emergency situation.

Terry, I need your answer on the question I'm going to ask you, which when answered will never reappear: Do you consider any videos touching unknown chapters and detours of history of foreign creators (I don't mean Canadian or British, but completely non-Anglo-Saxon) to be reacted to? The reason for asking is that I feel, that for quite some time you've only reacted to videos about either relatively known subject or made by popular creators. Is it because you have no trust in the quality of the videos by small creators unless proven by more people or is it something else? If yes, will it be enough if it has only subtitles or does it need to be made in English language? If (good quality) subtitles are enough, then I have a channel (whose couple of videos are subtitled so it'll be better as one-hit wonders), that not only talks about a certain topic, but usually also shows items connected to the told subject (and usually those items are an incentive to create a video about the topic) and has genuinely awesome conclusions. If you require English voiceover, then I have another channel, which is basically an expert about the interior of Soviet Union.
