That is the most beautiful thing you will see before you get vaporized.

And Fallout 3 has only a month or so to go. Just think, if the nuke shit had hit the proverbial nuke fan back in the Cold War, we`d all be living in Shady Sands or New Reno, fighting of Radscorpions, and looking desperately for some easy way of dealing with Deathclaws.

On second thoughts, we`d probably all be dead. But I for one am proud that it was my species (albeit a particularly suicidal breed thereof) that "harnessed" the atom (that is, "unleashed" the atom).

^ I`m proud we became the most dominant species on the planet, this is just overkill on steroids.

I believe this is in 1957, not 1952. Britain first detonated a nuclear (fission) device in 1952.

I thought the H-Bomb was never detonated!!
since it is 100 times stronger than a nuclear bomb

^ its hard to tell how big an explosion is when you see it on film like that. That was actually a small Hbomb, only 1.8 megatons.

The American H-bomb test is a little better, because it gives you a good frame of reference for the power of the blast. The island in the pacific where they tested the bomb... no longer exists.
