You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Interesting vids of the nukes. Wish there was sound, so I could have gotten a better impression of the speed of the resultant shockwave, by timing the difference between the distance the shock front travels and the arrival of the sound. But no sound and the videos were in 3s segments.

Good grief!  You're channeling PA.  I can just hear him calculating that.  And I'm not kidding.

Cool Meowsy. The spherical one was most impressive to me.

I'll take that as a compliment QV. And tenfold so since he is responsible for the existence of the PR.

I'd have been interested in seeing how the yield as well as bomb configuration (Teller-Ulam vs uranium 'gun' type pit detonations, tampers, and I'd have loved to see and hear some hydrogen bomb rather than just fission weapons going off. )

Chemistry happened. A very satisfying synthesis I have only done once before, and that on a much smaller, test scale, just to familiarize myself with the reagent I am preparing. Found myself doing a lot of inorganic lately, which is quite a change for me and it feels...oddly refreshing, if that makes sense. A breath of fresh air (albeit through a gas mask scrubbing noxious vapor and toxic gases:P)
