Nuclear Weapons

The President is the Commander In Chief of the US armed forces, and as such, he is fully empowered to make any decision and issue any order that he deems to be necessary to deal with a military threat to the US, and that would include firing nuclear missiles. If the US were under attack, that would not be a good time for the President to go to Congress and see if he can persuade them to authorize military action. However, the President can't declare war, on the Congress can do that. It may be that actually declaring war would be superfluous, if nuclear missiles were already fired.

the possibility that they might be stolen due to lax security because guards were not being regularly paid.

• officially - 1949 when USSR tested their first atomic bomb
• actually - ~1944 when spies stole US atomic bomb plans and delivered them to the KGB

fatman, little boy and trinity they are nuclear bombs used on japan (exept trinity) at the end of the second world war.

They might very well. But you might then be left with hundreds or thousands of smaller objects that can still do damage over a larger area. It is not necessarily the solution depending on a lot of factors like the size and velocity of the original asteroid.

Most of the celestial objects we call stars are stellar bodies much like our sun. Our sun is a large mass of hydrogen. There is so much hydrogen gathered together in one place that it all holds together by its own gravity. So much, that its own gravity is crushing the atoms together. Not just together in a way like we normally see here on Earth when we view solids, but together so tightly that the nuclei touch. And tighter still, until the nuclei fuse together. This is called nuclear fusion. On Earth we only experience this event when a thermonuclear bomb is detonated. A thermonuclear bomb (H-Bomb) makes an atom bomb look weak. There is so much hydrogen in our sun that this explosion was been going on for millions of years and will continue for millions more before it burns out. And there are stars out there that make our sun look like a midget. Some of the things we call stars are the remains of some of these giants who ended their lives in an explosion beyond all comprehension called a super nova. Some of the stars aren't really stars at all but an enormous collection of stars called galaxies. All different and yet all the same because all that light comes from the same process ...... nuclear fusion.

During the American Revolution, France and Spain secretly supplied the American colonists with weapons and other military aid. France, motivated by its rivalry with Britain, provided significant support, including arms, ammunition, and naval assistance. Spain also contributed by offering financial aid and supplies, although its involvement was more indirect. These contributions were crucial in helping the Americans achieve independence from British rule.

No, the first notice we had was their successful 1949 test. We were just beginning to setup surveillance systems at that time, in expectation that they would eventually develop nuclear weapons, but did not expect to see positive results on what was an early practice sampling flight.

This is a kind of highly fanciful metaphor, in which the heat generated by a microwave oven is compared to the enormous heat of a nuclear explosion. There is actually no comparison between the two, but people find it amusing to pretend that there is.

You are asking about two different technologies: the nuclear warhead and the rocket propulsion system. Both require their own complex hardware derived from numerous raw materials. The warhead needs fissionable material and a trigger mechanism, and the misslie needs either solid or liquid fuel and ans a guidance system.

Build a missile for launching satellites into orbit. Build a nuclear bomb. Replace the satellite payload of your missile with that nuclear bomb. Adjust the missile guidance system to drop the bomb on a selected target instead of injecting it into orbit. Simple?

Sure. A nuke has 3 main lethal features:

1- Blast (high pressure wave). Roaches are more resistant to blasts than a person, but only to a point.

2- Heat. It might be easier for a roach to find shelter from the intense heat than it would be for a person, but if we're talking tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, lil' roachy is toast.

3- Radiation. Although roaches can tolerate exposure to radiation better than people can, they are not radiation proof. Given a high enough dose, cockroaches will die.

yes, but for many reasons they made mistakes that prevented progress. By 1943 they had decided it would not be practical to build nuclear bombs before they won the war with conventional weapons & they scaled their program back to mostly basic research aimed at building nuclear power reactors after they won the war.

The United Kingdom tested its first nuclear weapon on 3 October 1952.

Think about it this way; you're President of the USA, and you've hear of the mutally assured destruction. If you want to destroy your country along with another one, the use your weapons against another country. That is the idea of mutually assured destruction. There has not been one bomb dropped onto any other country since 1945; Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Tests have been carried out many times since then, especially during the Cold War. But there has been no nuclear explosions know to the public since then.

Door ways and bed matrisses according to the vidio we watched at school.

There were many thousands of people that worked on the project in various locations.

The scientist in charge was Robert Oppenheimer.

As i consider they had used no bomb they solved their problem by by speaking and issues

Obviously no one knows.

My assumption is that world war 3 would be a battle over the control of antartica. The continent could render many agricultural resources in its freezing cold temperatures.
