      Really dude? I bet the people who were lied to & manipulated off of their native lands know exactly where these islands are! Well actually you’re probably right because most were near able to go back to their homes since the US left it a radioactive wasteland dump & so the descendants have never been to their ancestral homelands. We talk so much shyt about Russia/Soviet Union & their handling of nuclear materials yet we have no room whatsoever to criticize them when we’ve done way worse by 10 fold.

      ​@@precisionleadthrowing4628 Sorry, but that is not a fact but an assumption that is widely dismissed by the scientific community. It comes up from time to time though for whatever reason. The real culprits are CFCs, thus they were banned. There is little to no evidence that the Nukes had an impact on thinning the O3 layer, since the chemicals that are indeed destructive to Ozone and indeed were thrown up by the nukes are destroyed while destroying it, and were never enough to have a lasting effect similar to the constant supply of CFCs through production.

      It was a prototype. Experimental.
      The first satellite the Soviets (and mankind) sent into space beeped. Very simplistic. The 2nd one played the Soviet National Anthem.
      The Soviets were far ahead of us in rocket technology. It annoyed the Soviets that our U-2 spy planes flew over their air space (understandable.) Their fighters could fly to 60,000 feet but the U-2's flew at 80,000 feet and their air to air cannons were ineffective. They developed rockets that could climb to 80,000 feet and using proximity fuses, detonate close enough to bring them down (like Gary Powers,) or cause enough damage the pilots would fly the U-2 into the ground at 700MPH destroying the plane completely.
      The Space Race was dominated by the Soviets until the Americans caught up.

    We saw the Star Fish Prime explosion at about 9p.m. (full darkness in mid-Winter in N.Z.) on July 9th, 1962, from a part of Auckland in New Zealand which looked directly North. It was a ball of bright light like a sun on the northern horizon, many thousands of miles away. Very memorable. We were 13 years old at the time. We knew that it was an American test of a nuclear bomb, but did not know that it was high above the earth in outer space, as this programme on TH-cam reveals. I thought that it was a great atomic explosion on a Pacific Island way above the Equator and marveled that we could see it despite the thousands of miles of curvature of the earth. Thanks for explaining that the explosion was high above the earth, which is why it was so visible to much of the Pacific Ocean, north and south. Enjoyed the programme. Thanks

      I know I witnessed a nuclear explosion in space in the late 70’s growing up in Hawaii. While my family was in the backyard and my mom was talking to the neighbor in the evening. It was a clear night and alll of a sudden a bright circular light expanded across the sky yellow in color that ended with a green halo. There was multiple circular lights, it was so large that it looked like it was falling towards earth making us get to the ground quickly. I was probably 10 years old old at the time and I can remember it till today with detail, yet I can’t find any nuclear space testing conducted in that time period.

    My late grandpa, 98 years old when he passed, was the Naval Lieutenant in charge of building the tower, runway, and electrical systems for the Redstone rocket which launched Teak and Orange. He was also one of the only military men to stay on the island during the launch of Teak, due to his experience seeing 10 nuclear bombs explode at the time; Nevada. He could recall opening the hatch of the bunker, shortly after the blast melted the TV receiver, they poured out to look at that mini sun and aurora. That bomb was NOT small. He recalled there was no rescue plan because 'if it went off on the island, there would be no island, if it went off a mile up, there would also be no island." He remembers the shockwave of Teak as "mild." I've listened to the story countless times about how difficult it was for him to get the tower running, electrical issues and generator issues, Doctor Debus, while dealing with an Army Major. Amusing, there was a 'nearby' island called Bird Island, a nature sanctuary. You might expect the Navy not to care but they placed black smoke generators to purposely black out the island, during the launch, so the birds wouldn't become blinded by the light.

    Is it any wonder that cancer is so ubiquitous? Besides all the toxic testing in the South Pacific, the US also detonated over 1000 above ground nuclear weapons in Nevada, right here in our own country, with the bulk of the fallout raining down on civilian populations in Utah causing large cancer outbreaks. Residua fallout spread all the way to the east coast and beyond. As mentioned in this video, plenty of other countries have also conducted above ground nuclear tests. This is a global, insane, culture of death.

      My father worked at Boeing space research lab at this time. They made test equipment to measure various types of radiation. While the primary goal was to determine how to ensure survival for Astronauts by quantifying background cosmic radiation and radiation that exists at high altitudes within the atmosphere, these instruments were carried by aircraft during these tests as well. His team was offered the opportunity to ride along to observe and most accepted and subsequently died from various forms of cancer. My dad declined and although was a cigarette smoker, he never experienced cancer. No hard evidence I know, but those are the facts. This video covers the history very well and accurately. Good work. EMP aside, Starfish Prime punched a hole in the ionosphere that does not rotate as fast as the planet, so the hole that lingered for days created a ray of several miles in diameter that rained harmful cosmic rays on the earth's surface in a stripe the encircled the planet.

      Rubbish. By the time the two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan, they had already lost the war … and knew it. Arguably, those bombs probably hastened their decision to surrender-possibly even saving my own soldier father’s life as a result! However, many contemporary historians argue that the threat from the encroaching Soviet Union forces from mainland Asia was as significant a factor, with the Japanese preferring to surrender to the Allied forces than having anything to do with the communists. (Probably a wise choice!)
      Notwithstanding, my original comment about seeing the (subsequent … 17 years later) Starfish Prime atmospheric test was neither a criticism nor endorsement of testing programmes, atomic or hydrogen: it was merely a recollection of a spectacular event.

    Beautiful video. My second job just out of Aero Engineering School was at Chrysler Corporation Missile Division (CCMD)Just north of Detroit. CCMD made all the Redstone and Jupiter Army missiles with Dr Wehrner Von Braun as head of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency in Huntsville AL. My job was in the CCMD Advanced Development Branch at 16 mile and Van Dyke north of Warren MI. In the small group of Engineers we supported Von Braun on advanced projects (1959). One was going to used a modified Redstone missile for Project Willow intended to fire a nuclear weapon in space. We helped with some of the trajectory planning and dynamics of one of the 5 instrumented pods kicked off the booster prior to the prime nuclear event. To give measurements of the environment in space long distances away from the event. I never did hear if the project was actually built and tested, Apparently it did and in fairly recent times read some books that indicated exactly what your great video showed.
    Another event in you video showed the EMP effects. Also Pres. Kennedy agreements with Soviets at the Cuban Missile Crises of 1962. At the height of the Cold War, NATO had Jupiter (ARMY) and Thor (Air Force) IRBM's in Europe and Turkey aimed at the Soviets as part of the mutually assured nuclear destruction of Soviet and Free World as a detent to keep world peace. The Kennedy brothers were given credit for forcing Russia to take the nuclear missiles out of Cuba. When U.S. news media used this for Democratic rhetoric they also claimed that the US didn't give up anything. The Jupiter nuclear IRBM's (Army) were based in Italy and Turkey. The Thor IRBM's (Air Force) were emplaced in France and England. The Jupiter missiles were given up to get the Soviets to get theirs out of Cuba.
    At CCMD when we found out, a crash study was done to used those hundreds of Jupiter missiles to modify theme to make satellite launch vehicles out of them. A team was sent to Washington to propose this use of this great hardware when it was brought back to the U.S.
    The team came back broken-hearted when they found out that all the hardware was steamrolled on site to convince the Soviets that they would never return. I was surprised later in my career when the true story was kept secret from the American Public.
    Many of the younger generations really don't know what life was like during the Cold War. Your video was excellent in covering all the apprehensions that I have had including the EMP danger. Of course that's a current concern. Several years ago I read a brief article in either the newspaper or Aviation Week that our greatest fear is that Iran gets only one nuclear weapon and the capability to put a space detonation several hundred miles over the U.S. A few years ago, monitors of Iran's missile tests indicated a failure thought to occur when its telemetry indicated an event at apogee instead of close to the ground as would be used for a long range attack on an enemy. A relatively small missile carrying a modern nuke could be launched from a private yacht just outside the U.S. coastal waters to detonate several hundred miles in space over the U.S. The EMP from such a weapon would knock out all the unprotected microchips across the whole country. Just about any device we use in our 'advanced' society has microchips to function, i.e. cars, watches, refrigerators, games, computers, etc. etc. etc.
    The large Solar Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) can do the same. A CME observed in the 1800's which dismantled the Telegraph System has that same capability. Scientists have warned our politicians to do something about this in the 1990's since it could bring down the total electrical grid. A cheap fix for the grip protection could have been done for only several billion dollars back then. Congress voted to take action back then. But politicians don't have the technical understanding and didn't take action because of the cost. We are sitting ducks or lemmings at this soon to happen world disaster either by stupid enemies or stupid rulers. We need some Amazing Grace at this time.

      🥀THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought the second and last incarnation of His new and holy name"
      (People only experience in the last days the reappearance of the Redeemer in the flesh, and they receive the personal work and words of God. This is because the last days are the conclusion of the whole age. These the sum and end of God's six-thousand-year rule plan, and these are the end of mankind's suffering life journey. My work will only last six thousand years, and I will I whose contempt for all mankind will not last more than six thousand years. I will not continue or delay any more: In the last days I will conquer Satan, I will take back all My glory, and I will take back the all the souls on earth that belong to Me so that these sorrowing souls can escape from the sea of ​​suffering, and thus My whole work on earth will be finished. I will only do one thing on earth: I will change mankind, the humanity that is holy, and My faithful city on earth. This humanity will remain with Me forever, but it is not the vile filthy humanity of today, but the humanity accumulated from My earnings. The spoils of war I have rescued from Satan's domain, and are the only consummation and fruition of My six-thousand-year rule plan. They come from every nation and denomination, and every place and town, throughout the universe. I will destroy this ancient, and utterly defilement of mankind, as I destroyed the firstborn sons and cattle in Egypt, leaving only the Israelites, who ate lamb's flesh, drank lamb's blood, and sealed blood of sheep's on the beams of their houses)
      Almighty God said
      PEOPLE only in the LAST DAYS experience the RE-APPEARANCE of the REDEEMER in the FLESH, and they ACCEPT GOD'S PERSONAL WORKS and WORDS. It will not be two thousand years before the LAST DAYS of the END COME; they are SHORT, as JESUS ​​DID the WORKS during the AGE of GRACE in JUDEA. This is because the LAST DAYS are the CONCLUSION of ALL TIME. These are the FULFILLMENT and the END of the SIX--THOUSAND--YEAR PLAN of GOD'S RULE, and they are the END of HUMANITY'S LIFE JOURNEY of SUFFERING. 🙏
      My WORK WILL ONLY LAST SIX THOUSAND YEARS, and I PROMISE THAT EVIL'S HOLD OF ALL HUMANITY WILL NOT LAST MORE THAN SIX THOUSAND YEARS either. ☀️
      And so timely. I will not continue or delay any longer: In the LAST DAYS I WILL CONQUER SATAN, I WILL RECOVER ALL MY GLORY, and I WILL RECOVER all the SOULS on EARTH that belong to Me so that these suffering SOULS can LOSE in the SEA of SUFFERING, and thus My ENTIRE WORK on EARTH will be FINISHED. From this day forward, I will never again incarnate on earth, and My domineering Spirit will never again work on earth. 🙏
      I will only DO one THING on EARTH: I will CHANGE HUMANITY, humanity that is DIVINE, and My FAITHFUL CITY on EARTH. 🌺
      But you must know that I will not destroy the whole world, nor will I destroy the whole humanity. I will KEEP the REMAINING PART THREE---the third part that LOVES Me and COMPLETELY SUBMITS to Me, and I will MAKE them fruitful and MULTIPLY in the EARTH as the ISRAELITES DID UNDER the LAW, FEEDING them with Abundant SHEEP and CATTLE and ALL the ABUNDANCES OF THE EARTH. 🌺
      This humanity will remain with Me forever, but it is not the vile filthy humanity of today, but the humanity accumulated from My earnings. 🙏 That mankind will not be harmed, disturbed, or besieged by Satan, and they will be the ONLY mankind that WILL REMAIN ON EARTH AFTER I AM VICTORIOUS AGAINST SATAN. This is humanity that I have NOW CONQUERED and GOT MY PROMISE. And so, the humanity conquered in the LAST DAYS is the same humanity that WILL BE SAVED and ACHIEVE My ETERNAL BLESSINGS. 🌺
      This will be the only proof of My victory over Satan, and the only spoils of My battle with Satan. The SPOILERS of WAR I HAVE SAVED from SATAN'S ATTITUDE, and the ONLY COMPLETION and FRUIT of My SIX-THOUSAND-YEAR REIGN PLAN. They come from every nation and denomination, and every place and town, throughout the UNIVERSE. They come from different races, different languages, customs and skin colors, and they are scattered in all countries and denominations around the world, and even in every corner of the WORLD. 🏵️ SOON, they will COME TOGETHER to BUILD THE PERFECT HUMANITY, the meeting of humanity that SATAN'S FORCES CANNOT REACH. 🙏 Those of HUMANITY that I have NOT SAVED and CONQUERED and will SINK SILENTLY in the DEPTH OF THE SEA, and MY BURNING FIRE WILL BURN ETERNALLY. 😪
      I will wipe out this old, and utter abomination of mankind, just as I DESTROYED the FIRST-BORN BOYS and cattle in EGYPT, leaving only the ISRAELITES, who EAT lamb's flesh, DRINK sheep BLOOD, and STAMP the BLOOD of the asSHEEP on the beams of their DOORS. 🙏🌷🙏
      AREN'T the PEOPLE I CONQUERED and became FAMILY the same PEOPLE who ATE My FLESH as LAMB and I REDEEMED and WORSHIP Me? Aren't they the TYPES of PEOPLE who are always ACCOMPANIED with My GLORY? Are they not without My body, the Lamb, and have quietly sunk into the depths of the sea? Now they oppose Me, and now My words and just like those that Jehovah said to the male children and male grandsons of Israel. BUT HARDNESS IN THE DEPTH of your HEARTS STORES MY WRATH, CAUSES MORE JUDGMENT on your SINS, and more WRATH on your unrighteousness. Who will be saved in My day of wrath, if this is how you treat Me now? ☀️
      Whose UNJUSTICE can ESCAPE My EYES of PUNISHMENT? Whose sins can escape the hands of Me, the ALMIGHTY? Whose resistance will escape My judgment, the ALMIGHTY? I, JEHOVAH, am SPEAKING to you, TRIBES of GENTILE FAMILIES, and the WORDS I AM SPEAKING to you are MORE than ALL that was SPOKE in the AGE of LAW and in the AGE of GRACE, but you are more stubborn than all people in Egypt. Are you not storing up My wrath while I PREPARE My REST? How can you get away with nothing?g damage from My Sun, the ALMIGHTY? 🌻
      From "The Word Appears in the Flesh"
      The kingdom that Christ brought down and built from heaven engraved with His Holy name "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 fulfillment of (Matthew 16:18) The Lord Jesus said "And I say to you, you are Peter, in upon this rock I will build my Church, that the power of death shall not prevail over her."
      💌 So everyone is led here! because this is the last day which means the last age and the last salvation the last stage is the AGE OF THE KINGDOM or the age of the word, in His lowered Kingdom "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐because the purification of God has come to the individual of the spirit of man ("The Parable of the Washing of the Feet" John 13:5-9)... . EVERYONE WHO HAS AN EAR LISTEN TO WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS TO THE CHURCHES!" (Rev. 2:7,11,17,29 and 3:6,13,22) 🌺

      Right, as I understand it as the Cold War progressed warhead yields were starting to settle around 1 MT since that value had flexibility in types of targets that could be eliminated without being wasteful overkill. That would be a morbid area of study, but apparently people did and probably still do study those tactics and efficient use of weapons.
      Now, so far as back then, there were crazy tests and plans for ever bigger yields, I think that the video is fair to say what it did. It can get nit picky judging a video author, or any author, on a judgement call on choice of description. ✌️

    It's actually relatively easy to harden against this. Shield sensitive components, use twisted pair cable runs, program the guidance computers to restart if they enter an error state. There's a few things and any electronics technician knows all about them. Once the vehicles were retro-fitted with relatively simple countermeasures, all bets are off.
    Uh. American ICBMs of the 1960s/70s had swanky microcomputer-controlled guidance but Russian stuff was on the older electromechanical inertial guidance systems with thermionic valve analogue computers - Which aren't really susceptible to this.

      We are most of the way there just by making current bombs tiny in comparison to the 3-15MT monsters we used to have deployed. If you double the accuracy of a delivery system you can get the same overpressure at the intended target with a bomb 1/8th the yield. 300-700kT is a big bomb these days and we are working on replacing those with 50kT. We also know how to build bombs to minimize fallout. An all-out nuclear was today would cause a small fraction of the environmental damage of one in the '60s through '80s, which we are very lucky never happened.

      ​@@keldonator There are extremely high precision instruments that exist these days that allow us to measure what materials are comprised of, by measuring the patterns that are created when vibrations pass through them. In the case of Earth, these instruments use the vibrations made by seismic waves to measure the internal composition of Earth. Its not 100% perfect, but these instruments work for us in verifiable ways to measure materials on the surface, and thus the measurements being taken are indeed quite closely accurate. We've learned through putting materials through experiments that expose them to absolutely insane levels of heat and pressure, that the materials at the core are in a state known as "super-critical". We've also found an extra layer to the core in recent years. The new layer consists of an iron-nickel alloy, like other parts of the core. But it has a different crystal structure that causes shock waves from earthquakes to reverberate through the layer at different speeds than the surrounding core.
