We should be experimenting with nukes way more in general, we only don't do it because hippies are obsessed

>>3669208We actually did, what with Project Plowshare and all that. The results were less than ideal.

>>3669211>>3669206For clarity, the whole point of Sundial was to create a bomb that would literally destroy all of human civilization. It's beyond overkill geg

Should've at least done project Orion…

>>3669218The whole point was "if you attack us, EVERYONE dies". It was meant to be the ultimate deterrent, but it also left zero room for error. Do you kill literally everyone alive when your enemy starts doing more shit than usual at the borders?
>>3669219On this, I largely agree. Only caveat is that rockets still have a tendency to blow up during launch

>>3669222The dinosaur comet was around 100,000 gigatons, I don't think 10 would end all human life or even civilization but what do I know. I think a lot of that stuff was exaggerated on purpose, to enhance deterrence. It would probably fuck up a region real good but I don't think it would be a truly long-lasting disaster. I think lots of volcano eruptions we've experienced in recorded history have exceeded that

For instance, this one happened during early modernity, and was over three times bigger… It messed with the global climate only slightly, and Indonesia is now absolutely fine

Edward Teller was so giga tbh

>>3669233>>3669232The big distinction between Sundial and both of those is that Sundial would also be pissing fallout everywhere.
Also Tambora impacted the climate more than you think. 1816 was known as the year without a summer for a reason. That shit caused worldwide crop failures.
â„–3669253[Quote]
>>3669246Meh is it were mostly fusion (it's like 99.9999% fusion) the fallout would be negligible
â„–3669263[Quote]
If >3x yield produces a crop failure and a chilly summer then 1x isn't apocalyptic, just very inconvenient
â„–3669272[Quote]
>>3669253An additional note: Tambora was a volcanic island with almost no additional fires. Sundial going off in the middle of the US would set enough forests on fire to dwarf the amount of material Tambora sent into the stratosphere.
Also hydrogen bombs still produce fallout, considering they're ignited by a fission bomb.

>>3669272Well we should set it off in India not the US first of all
â„–3669280[Quote]
And yeah there would be some fallout, but it likely wouldn't be any more than any thermonuclear bomb. The fission device used as a trigger doesn't scale with the fusion payload

>>3669288have you shot a gun before garfield
â„–3669298[Quote]
>>3669280Of course, but since h-bombs can punch straight through the stratosphere, it's likely that it would have been distributed WAY further.
Also, fusion still irradiates the shit out of things, it just doesn't leave as many horrendous long-lasting isotopes as fission does because it's not starting with heavy elements to begin with. A fusion reactor will still produce nuclear waste by irradiating its components, it's just not producing the kind of stuff that we'll have to bury in the desert for 10000 years.
