That video stunned me. I admit I'd never looked up how many nuclear detonations there had been over the years. The question that surfaced most often in my mind while watching the video was "why?". Why so many detonations? Did the nuclear powers really need to set off hundreds of nukes each to get the data they needed? I suspect many if not most of the detonations were less about usable data and science, more about displaying who had the bigger nuclear penis. Absolutely ridiculous. For shame humankind, for shame!
