  This is the spin off or part two of a video I did about 9 month earlier which was about the nuclear test grounds and what happened to them <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcTrOGS3TyE">https://youtu.be/KcTrOGS3TyE</a> . Only operation Argos was a self contained test series, the others Yucca, Teak &amp; Orange where part of operation Hardtack and Operation Fishbowl which included the infamous &quot;Starfish Prime&quot; and &quot;Bluegill&quot; was the final set of space tests and part of Operation Dominic.<br>The naming convention &quot;Prime&quot; was added to tests if the first one failed, so &quot;Starfish Prime&quot; was the second test because the first one failed in some way. If it had more than one failure it would be called double prime or triple prime. Bluegill was actually &quot;Bluegill Triple Prime&quot; as it was the third attempt at getting the test to work.

  Space nukes... the moment the aliens turned their ships around and said &apos;yep... they are idiots...&apos;

  Well, that shirt blew out my monitor. &nbsp;I can only imagine what an EMP would do.

  Folks... The shirt was intentional. The pattern is based on the afterglow.

  I love this channel so much. It is what the discovery channel should have been. Thank you for doing what you do.

  Just to see what would happen. That&apos;s the logic behind 99% of my life.

  It still amazes me the timeline of testing nukes. Finding the ability to split atoms or whatever and then we literally try to blow up everything, even space. I still feel &quot;we&quot; are using the energy wrong.
