Please, just look up Hydrogen Bomb on wiki, educate yourself. It doesn't split hydrogen atoms, it fuses them.

This bomb looks like the B53 type that they are now disassembling. That was built in the early 60's? So what type is this one??

@heyyyyyynow I first read "Like my wife" ;)

[beeroosterm]

That was a very pretty bomb. May I have another?

This one looked like a Castle Bravo shot, am I wrong?

[johnbarleycornmd]

Uh, wrong.

First, the first deliverable thermonuclear weapons test was "Cherokee" from operation redwing. The explosion was castle bravo-the first dry fuel thermonuclear device- 2 years before.

These are two different films, spliced together.

Fail.

yes it looks very powerful,but in deep space there are far greater things exploding...check out red giants

One moment, there were not "H2-H 2fusion bombs, because such a weapon would be too big to be carried by an airplane! even by a B-52 castle Bravo used Lithium-deutheride, (lithium-6 is also a fixile element, so gives energy to whole process), others probably hydrogen- composts
