  • At a time when the game of nuclear chicken very nearly got out of hand the superpowers continued to test nuclear weapons in space with both surprising and frightening consequences. In this video we look at why we needed to test nukes in space.

    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 th-cam.com/video/KcTrOGS3TyE/w-d-xo.html . 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.

      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?

      Setting off nukes in low earth orbit wipes out satellites and wrecks electrical grids. Who would have known? Also, all the missile failures with warheads attached. It's a miracle that some poor Pacific Islanders, Australia, or Hawaii didn't get accidentally nuked. Unbelievable idiocy. Lucky thing the USA and Russia are now threatening to build "usable" smaller nukes. Gotta keep up 20th century lunacy.

      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.

    • @MrBrelindm
      @MrBrelindm 5 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      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.

      @stevenwilkinson8459 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      @Flearther McPlane To begin, I believe you misunderstood the original posted comment. 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. So please, let the kid be. Show some humility and direct your rhetoric where it is appropriate.

      When he said they conducted tests at the South Atlantic Anomaly, my spider senses went tingling. So i went to check. The SAA was discovered in 1958, according to Wiki. And the Operation Argus was conducted between August and September of... 1958! Coincidence? Or... they poked a hole up there?
      I find it hard to believe they planned and prepared a highly complex task force to conduct an even more complex test, in an an anomaly they just "discovered" around the same time! Such expeditions usually take years to plan! And they did something this complex, on the spot?? On the back of a napkin? Hardly something you expect from the US Navy. Since i don´t believe in such coincidences, i am led to believe something´s afoot. I expect the dates are wrong. Because if they aren´t... Well... Color me confused!

      Unless intentionally salted a nuke detonation itself does not produce that much radioactive fallout. Still bad but not uninhabitable for decades bad. If detonated on the ground it kicks up and iradiates tons of dirt and dust causing the really nasty fallout that sticks around for a while.

    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!

    When I was a youngster we lived in atlanta georgia, my dad was driving down I-20 toward atlanta. My mom worked at gradey memorial hospital around midnight in a 1965 mustang I was in the back seat with my head layed back looking out the rear window when the whole sky was instantly filled with red clouds boiling down at us. I alerted my dad as I thought we about all die. He saw it but as fast as it was there it had already started to fade. This filled the whole horizon. My father called the meterlogical center and they said it was atomospherical testing but I thought it was nukes. This had to be around 1968 to 1969

The greedy evil one will do anything in pursuit of power we call a coming age of world government. Might half of Americans be ignorant enough to believe the world is flat and nukes are fake instead of embracing how international bankers have us hijacked with their old conspiracy to make a one world financial order of debt economic slavery.

      @@TUBESPECIFIC1 Partially making sense here, but you still must journey down the flat earth trail. It will show you that the king of lies started here. I've done mathematical modeling in the past with water (hydrology) for the USEPA and learned water can not go uphill ever. Study the Mississippi on a globe (and plot its linear route on a scale model) and tell me it would not go uphill. Then we can move forward with other conspiracies. The Vatican did initiate this lie so perhaps so it's only fair we start where they did, long before creating debt slaves.

    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.

      Nuclear deterrent is only effective after show of force. And more effective after repeated shows of force prove there's an arsenal.
      It's not meant to be deployed in nuclear war (although of course they carefully prepare for nuclear war). It's meant to give world leaders bigger penises to wave around.
