alt Hacker NewsIt’s pretty morbid but I think I would go watch if there ever was a public nuclear above surface test again. I hope it will never happen.

I would too, and I think it should happen.
I’m in Australia, so it’s only a (relatively) short drive to Woomera.
We should make sure our (the West’s) nuclear deterrent still actually works, and put the fear of God back in to everyone.
And also demonstrate how relatively benign the fallout from a thermonuclear weapon is, ie. relatively little radioactive material is generated from modern nuke.

This is something that happened[0]. Not sure about that site, but a search returned a bunch of similar sites with no domains I was familiar.
