Re: [Yasmin_discussions] artists and atoms: fission and fusion

yasminers

one other stort about use of nuclear explosions as art is the project , in which carl sagan was involved as a young man, to explode a device in the moon a show of force to friends and foes, the porject it seems whas discontinued when someone realized iy might be cloudy that day or people might not be looking up at that point, the risk of not havin the itended image impact killed the porject, fortunately..

the films in the perlinger arhives show well, hat is also known from other sources , that is that people were very much unaware of the effects of raditain (ie one film shows a scene where soliders that hve just witnessed an explosion drom a few km are carfully dusted off with a broom, while the voice says smothing about the many precautions ther ate taking
