Operation Plowshare
Apr. 21st, 2009 07:38 amUsing nukes to make man-made lakes...
Let's see what we can add to the "WTF" total of nuclear history:
1) Leaving nuclear waste in cardboard boxes in a ditch as a policy (Hanford)
2) Nuclear powered ramjet- unshielded reactor that ends up spewing out fallout out the back as a bomb delivery system.
3) Using underground nuclear explosions to create "glass caves" into which you pour the rest of your nuclear waste
4) High altitude explosion testing which EMPs a quarter of the globe
5) Tsar Bomba, the Russian bomb experiment which caused windows to shatter a continent away...
Why do I believe in a higher power? Because SOMETHING has to have kept us from blowing our own stupid asses up this long...
