I saw that - chuckles. Though I think the problem would be worse than just tides, right? See the documentary: Despicable Me

Thousands of minions with meniacle laughs? :hihi:

Speaking of Skippy's - Hey Skippy - there is a new "Grille" at the local Bowling Alley named Skippy's

It would have been a shame to blow up all that cheese

Sure would have taken a whole sheetload of nukes to even make a crater you could see from earth.

Not to mention, impossible.

They should have contracted the job out to Marvin the Martian and his illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator.

Also, the way that our rockets were constantly blowing up on the launch pads back then, it might have made a good sized crater in Florida.

Yeah, the idea that it would have "blown up the moon" is pretty ridiculous. I imagine the idea was to detonate it where it could be seen, but wouldn't directly hurt people. We detonated them on Earth regularly and I think Earth is still here. Sounds like the journalist blew it when they came up with that title.

Yeah, we were testing everything back then above ground in the western deserts and on Pacific atolls. I kind of doubt that the Soviets were totally in the dark about us having and testing nukes. How much of a flash would even 5 megatons make from a quarter million miles away?

I'd liked to have been a fly on the wall when some Pentagon boob ran this one by Ike. :rotf2:
