... first millionth of a second.

Super-duper high speed photography (we're talking 1- ten millionth of a sec) of the birth of a Hiroshima size atomic blast. Top photo the fireball is a couple hundred feet across still vaporinzing the tall tower it was mounted on. Second photo the fireball is expanding and beginning to touch the desert floor of the Nevada test site. Not sure if these are from the same 'shot'. Sometime in the 1950's.

Oh yes, any Atomic Powered airplane of the future would have to be serviced by mechanics sealed inside a forty ton lead coffee can using huge clumsy robot arms. [Only worked in an artist's drawing]
