  • We have Nukes in Space! now all we need is Nukes on ICE!

  • i feel 10% dumb now that i supposibly saw a nuke in space when it looked like i pretty much got EVERY fucking angle of a rocket taking off and 2 second explosion :(

  • and they say that the problems with our atmosphere are from car emissions...sure

  • And where brits nukes, underneath ya boys, so so wrong, ha ha.

  • Fake an gay!!!!!!!!!!

  • What is the point of this video?

  • cdgdc

  • whats the song on this video?

  • :D .

  • that would suck if something went wrong during liftoff. everyone would be dead.

  • @frenchersfries, nuclear missile launches did go wrong, but almost nobody died. One of the missiles from Operation Fishbowl went wrong, but for some reason (having to do with the warhead), there wasn't a very big explosion.

  • @frenchersfriers hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahhahaahahahahahahah K BOOM rite in front of your eyes heheh

  • lol

    watch 0:27

  • like a penis??

  • "The United States conducted around 1,054 nuclear tests (by official count) between 1945 and 1992". I understand the over 800 of those were above ground, in the sea, or in space, where fallout becomes a problem.

  • Not really, just in the test sites. If radiation spread like people think it does we'd all be dead. Besides, the nukes we tested in space are like a drop in the pot of all the radiation there already.

  • thanks mr spok

  • I can tell you that in fact underground tests produce more irradiated particulate matter. It's just trapped undergound. The dirtiest tests are when a miscalculation causes the fireball to burst through the surface, or when the fireball touches the ground in a high altitude test. The cleanest initiations are at high altitude because there's very little matter there to be irradiated, and fallout is irradiated matter. Ionizing radiation from the device rapidly dissipates and is of no consequence

  • What you are saying is correct. There is less "fallout" from higher airburst than those detonations which occur at or below the surface of the Earth. Very perceptive and well informed.

  • lol wiliam shatner

  • Check out the 44 SECOND mark. Many times brighter and hotter than the sun even though its many many miles out into space. Notice those guys back into the hole? Sorry, you've already been exposed to high amounts of Gamma and X-RAY radiation.

    No wonder cancer rates have been on the rise ever since the proliferation of nuclear weapons and their bullshit testing. USA did over 2,400 tests. Russia did how many thousands? Its amazing there is still life on planet earth.

  • You have no idea what you are talking about.

  • yer such a loser!  nukes RULE!

  • I want to become a scientist so I too can post intellectual comments on stuff I known nothing or very little about. And every one that post on videos like these are scientist right?? :) Its funny though I knew about this when I was a little kid and today there are people that have no clue these tests happen.

  • what is this a trailer for, i'd be very interested to know the name so I can download a copy :)

  • like it says "Nukes in Space" documentary narrated by William Shatner. If your local library doesn't own a copy then look a little more

  • the square root of a speckled egg divided by the nucleas of a period equals the periodicly chicken

  • If you divide it with a knife and lubricate with butter.

    Only THEN will you achieve total foul domination.

  • wait,wtf was the point of making this vid?

  • you no its great to here from intellectuals such as you guys for a minute i thaught i was alone maybe its the area i live in or somthin.

  • nuke the moon! :D

  • No if u do the moon, it will shatter and blow up and the whole world will be in chaos from rocks falling from skie -.-

  • are you on drugs or just retarded?

  • lol

  • The world WOULD actually be in chaos. the oceans tides would stop and the earths rotation would be altered, which would really mess things up on many levels...

  • no, bits of it would just get a tad warm for a while.

    IT'S 1/6 THE MASS OF THE EARTH! YOU THINK ONE TINY LITTLE NUKE IS GOING TO EVEN SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF SOMETHING THAT HUGE?

  • @ShadowPoo Nuke Pluto, no one cared about it and it will be interesting to se what happens lol.

  • evil mad man scientist at work

  • Does anyone think nukes and such have been used on Mars, Venus, or say maybe even the Sun?

  • Since the Sun is BASICALLY comprised of nuclear reactions-it pretty much is made of nukes. Sooooo using a nuke on the Sun would be like landing a piece of sand on Earth, only on a much much smaller scale.

  • They never really let off nuclear bombs in space did they. Someone having a laugh, if they did when was this?

  • They set off a bunch in the sixties. First they were experimental to see what the range of the EMP after the explosion would be (so as to destroy satellites in space). The last of exoatmospheric tests was done during the Cuban Missile Crisis by Russia and the US as saber-rattling. It was found that detonating the weapons at high altitude destroyed phone systems and several other things.

  • Gravity works on everything.

  • Yes gravity affects all states of matter and energy. But only everything larger than an atom. Sub atomic particles obey quantum physical laws(as far as we know) and gravity does not occur at that level. Hard to get that detailed in this forum so I think you did well to inform the writer of their misconception. No spelling errors or profanity either. Kudos.

  • since photons are smaller than atoms and the gravitational pull from high mass object can bend light, i guess gravity affects subatimic particles too! go do some research!

  • When you guessed that gravity affects subatomic particles, you guessed wrong.

    The photon follows the curvature of spacetime WHICH IS caused by gravity. So gravity affects spacetime not the photon. Spacetime affects photons.

    Conclusion 1: I don't need to do some research.

    Conclusion 2: You DO need to do some research.

    Conclusion: You are a bit of an ass who could use some manners. Please use your spellcheck next time you try to correct somebody.

  • wow that dumb, doing that can cause radiation to fall back down on to earth

  • i saw the nukes in space documentary on discovery it is awsome

  • what were they trying to nuke at? aliens?... or did they ran out of soil to nuke? they should nuke luna while they're at it

  • detonate a 15 kiloton nuke on earth, and BLAM you have cancer, radition, all form of other energy and nice big dent in the o-zone layer

  • Comment removed

  • Tsar bomb..i think you mean 50 MEGA tonnes. Dont know about you but after all these tests i dont believe my fridge freezer is responsible for a giant hole in the Ozone layer and a chaotic global weather system full of new phenomena.. Do you not think just maybe no body had a clue about the consequences of these stupid experimental tests? I think some people know a lot more than they are telling the public!

  • and haarp can pop out that big dent! LOL

  • luna?  lunatics?

  • so cool. the test kerub talks about blacked out parts of hawaii for days

  • Yer & since there is no oxygen, where is the atomic energy going to go? When they hit earth it makes a massive shock wave, so what would happen in space? We dont know what a no-gravity zone feels like, it isnt just an explosion, its a massive magnetic explosion.

    Leading ourselves into massive discoveries

  • actully there is no oxygen in space meaning that there cant be a shockwave since a shockwave is just a pulse of air. nevermind a massive magnetic explosion. And where the hell did you get magnetic from?

  • hmm and if the rockect fails to make it into space there dead lol

  • Actually if you detonated a nuke in space, if it was far enough from the atmosphere, you might not actually see anything. The images of movies of enormous balls of light probably isn't so accurate. Without an atmosphere to interact with, it would most likely just release extreme amounts of energy in the form of different types of radiation, but probably not so much light. I could be wrong though.

  • The explosion would need oxygen for it to happen, only thing you would see is the aurora as Kerub said. Because of the radiation re-entering the "atmo".

    Most of the energy released would disperse quickly without the effect of gravity on it. It would be a sort of extremly tiny solar flare.. :)

  • mmmm not sure if energy gas or oxygen are affected by gravity , even on earth.

  • the releasing of energy can depend on the density of the matter that it is being released from.

    gas and oxygen have weight, even on earth (gas and oxygen, lol)

  • If they weren't Earth would have no atmosphere. In fact, gravity pulls solids, liquids, gasses, and plasma into circular things we like to call planets.

    Black holes suck in almost everything using gravity.

    Gravity is created by matter sooooo if you have gasses(which are matter) you have gravity, even on Earth.

  • The light is emitted from the atoms as they split so there would be a big flash, the radiation hitting the earths atmos forms an arora. I just ordered the dvd -"Nukes in space - The rainbow bombs". narrated by James T Kirk no less.

  • yeah1

  • to actually c a nuke bloe up in space would be an awesome sight

  • Did you actually finish high school?

  • lol y do u say that? im still in high school too by the way

  • They actually DID test nukes in higher atmosphere (Operation Dominic, Operation Fishbowl, 1961).

    And one nuke, called Starfish Prime, was detonated in space over Hawaii and Honolulu. The lighteffects were looked kinda polar-light auroras.

  • oh, well i never knew that
