Secrets of the Dead

Beginning in the 1950s, American and Soviet scientists engaged in a dangerous race to see who could build and detonate the world's largest bomb.

You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I don't understand what's gone wrong with it. - George Hanson, 1969

In December I went and toured the National Atomic Bomb Testing Museum in Las Vegas, quite an interesting visit, takes about 3 hours to go thru it.
