WOW! Just to think, that maybe Russia could have a nuclear missle attack up their sleeves, and that's all done by the pressing of a big button..... and a hell of a lot of workers and chemicals, AND money.......![]()

The Tsar Bomba was impractically large - it was more of a demonstration than an actual weapon. But if it had been used...

GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

It was tested on October 30, 1961 over the island of Novaya Zemlya in the Arctic Sea, apparently. I'm not sure about being a pilot, it sounded like they only just escaped from being blown out of the sky.Originally Posted by Viking

Thanks. Well, you know, being that close during the detonation of the biggest a-bomb ever detonated is worth the risk, for me at least.Originally Posted by Marcellus
Found an image of the bomb, btw.

They probably died of radiation-related illnesses later. Russia once dropped a load of soldiers in near the site of a nuclear explosion to see how the radiation affected them. Don't think any even managed to report in.Originally Posted by Viking
Actually, the nuclear fallout was very low considering the power of the bomb, since 97% of the energy came from fusion.Originally Posted by BDC
