Comment on Nuclear launch detected....

I love the juxtaposition of these:

During the Pascal-B nuclear test of August 1957, a 900-kilogram (2,000 lb) iron lid was welded over the borehole to contain the nuclear blast, despite Brownlee predicting that it would not work.

A high-speed camera, which took one frame per millisecond, was focused on the borehole because studying the velocity of the plate was deemed scientifically interesting.

This idea is so incredibly stupid that science needs to study precisely how much it won’t work.
