A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945

The US is a little nuke happy.

Scary isn't it?

BOOOHOOO SOOO SCARY.


No, it's not scary. It's only scary to ignorant fear mongers that are too stupid to understand the science behind it all.

So...I get the US ones in the desert..but what are those couple over in the Alabama area? And I also find it funny if you look at the US seas ones, they are all the way over by Austrailia. Now we know why they all like the top 10 poisonous everything.

I believe they tested a couple of those really small tactical nukes here in Alabama... you know those ones that were designed to wipe out infantry or tank platoons that had a 500yd effect radius?

That said, what I really want to know is why the fuck was the UK detonating nukes on the US mainland from about 1970 to the mid 1980's?! D:

Because we were sharing our research facilities and collaborating with our closest ally?

We were just gonna blow it up a little bit. Not like we wanted to disintegrate it, geez. Brits don't want us having any fun...

No, actually the level of cold war psychosis and self-serving amorality that drove the nuclear testing program was scary. We empowered total nutjobs to play with nuclear weapons for fun and profit.
