Aarambh Verma actually, if you look at the actual agreements and ensuing politics of the 1991 dissolution, Russia *technically* didn’t leave the USSR, and they, in a way, assumed the titles and powers of the USSR (but it “ended” the Cold War, obviously).

TL;DR, Russia and the USSR could be legally argued to be the same legal entity
Why? It was a benefit to all nations. The increrase of illnesses due to the nuclear radiation and the from this following increase of illness of the people caused the medical industrie to produce more drugs, increasing these companies sales and therefore amount of tax they have to pay, which then resulted in the governments having more money they could spent for their people. So see, the nuclear tests benefited all mankind. P.S.: If you can find the irony in this comment, you may keep it.

Let it something clear for the new generation. The moon landing happened because of the war, NOT because of the science. More than half a million people worked on this project, because of the moon dust ?????
To be serious, while military uses are (by definition) not in everyone's best interests, nuclear testing in itself has been highly educational for mankind as a whole.

The ones they can do actual science and publish papers on are provably the secure ones like Destin visited. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_and_missing_Moon_rocks
@@MGCooley iirc they said they were brought back in vacuum for at least the first or first few missions but I thought they mentioned the precautions getting slightly less strict for the later missions.
...read that book A Man on the Moon when it came out about 25 years ago. An awesome book for anyone interested in the US space programme - I wasn't surprised when Derek Muller mentioned it at the end because the training of the astronauts to be the eyes of all of earth's geologists and geophysicists was a memorable part of the book... there it is still on my bookshelf. Awesome read...!
Atticus Baker not entirely true. You can swim in it to a certain degree because radiation halves every 7cm however if you were to swim down too close to the fuel you would die
I love NASA’s attention to detail that they blasted holes in the desert to match the Apollo 11 landing site. Simple low tech solution when they didn’t have the kind of high definition simulator technology we do now
I thought it had something to do with insulating radiation, space radiation testing or something. Never really thought it had that much to do with topography etc.
Mayo Man well apparently we don’t need to worry about radiation... Astronot Mr Glenn was interviewed about his moon mission by Bart sibrell and asked how did you guys survive the van allen radiation belts? He says I don’t know, I don’t think we even went through them. Lol the moon landing is the biggest fish story ever.
@@tannerotis they survived them by not sticking around in them and going to the moon instead. Their flight plan took them quickly through the thinnest known parts of the belts. The problem with the radiation belts isn't passing humans through them, its orbiting in them.
And in space there cant be wind so all those moon videos they are fake when the flag is moving and if they where in the moon really the flag would be still
@@KontulanSpiderMan ever heard of gravity? Its this thing that pulls stuff downwards, which causes ropes and fabric to swing back and forth when disturbed, only to stop due to air resistance and conversion to thermal energy. The moon flags were built to have an L shaped rod that the flag hangs off of, as wind wouldn't have been able to lift it like on earth.
Lol I love how bombs are still quantified in terms of TNT or dynamite sticks, as if it’s 1912 and most people know what that ‘feels like’ Oh man, a thousand sticks of dynamite!? I remember last week when I was excavating that hole near San Fran for gold that was a big blast, so it’s even bigger than that!?
Well, the people chillin' were far away from the nuclear bomb's effect, and the houses were obliterated from the shockwave produced due to nuclear blast. But they were just normal houses. The camera was probably inside a reinforced nuclear bunker, facing away from the shockwave.
I see bumps as well. There's some kind of light on the top-right which is probably responsible for it. If it was on the left the illusion probably wouldn't have happened.
My great grandfather worked at the base near the test site and since then everyone in my family on his side have all died from cancer. Including my sister who passed by the age 37.

The ones they can do actual science and publish papers on are provably the secure ones like Destin visited.

@@subwarpspeed Some sample containers were already contaminated. Damn moon dust is hell on seals.
In Destin's video didn't they say the samples were brought back in vacuum?
They need a LOL button in addition to the like button. Good one!
@@MGCooley iirc they said they were brought back in vacuum for at least the first or first few missions but I thought they mentioned the precautions getting slightly less strict for the later missions.
...read that book A Man on the Moon when it came out about 25 years ago. An awesome book for anyone interested in the US space programme - I wasn't surprised when Derek Muller mentioned it at the end because the training of the astronauts to be the eyes of all of earth's geologists and geophysicists was a memorable part of the book... there it is still on my bookshelf. Awesome read...!
3:35 Chagan Crater is located in Kazakhstan, not Russia. It was obviously detonated within the USSR in the 60s, but that is now Kazakhstan.

Great point.

NASA: ''Say no more'' *grabs a nuke*
next video : Can you swim in Nuclear Test Site
Atticus Baker not entirely true. You can swim in it to a certain degree because radiation halves every 7cm however if you were to swim down too close to the fuel you would die
Sure, until you wiggle like a sparkler and then fade out.
Can you swim in Lake Karachay?
Me: Going for a swim in the ocean
Employees at Fukushima:
Your answer is yes you can one time you can do it try it in a radioactive pool and give me your last words via yt Lol
I love NASA’s attention to detail that they blasted holes in the desert to match the Apollo 11 landing site. Simple low tech solution when they didn’t have the kind of high definition simulator technology we do now
i love those 60's atomic optimism/atompunk ads and videos you sprinkle in there!
11:15 That is the happiest person I have ever seen in my entire life.
But why do meteorites always land in craters? Don't you think that's a bit of a coincidence?
the meteorites created the craters?

8:14 I like how they sound more like children finding special rocks in the playground than actual professionals or scientists
You literally did ctrl+c ctrl+v of the other comment
They were neither professionals nor scientists. They were pilots. Big kids with expensive toys doing something crazy.......as usual.
@@samar5838 Oh cOpiEd CoMmEnT OoO
@@utubejeffo What do you even mean they weren’t professionals? They definitely seem like being an astronaut is their job.
@@samar5838 ok?
I got the chills when you cut to the astronauts talking about the samples at 08:15
Really cool!
Charlie Clumsy yes! Never seen and heard before!
I’m more mind blown by the craters created by nukes, that’s just insane how power we can create!
And these was only in kilotons powerlevels just imagine what would happen with a 50 megaton thermonuclear fusion device thats insane !
not to mention it took like 10 pounds of plutonium to make that
I thought it had something to do with insulating radiation, space radiation testing or something. Never really thought it had that much to do with topography etc.
lol

Imagine taking a piece of cardboard and sliding down that crater.
“Crystal rock!”
“Yes sir!”
I love astronauts.
I thought it was for the radiation because the moon doesn’t have an atmosphere
That's exactly what I was expecting, designing suits to withstand the estimated amount of radiation
Mayo Man well apparently we don’t need to worry about radiation... Astronot Mr Glenn was interviewed about his moon mission by Bart sibrell and asked how did you guys survive the van allen radiation belts? He says I don’t know, I don’t think we even went through them. Lol the moon landing is the biggest fish story ever.
@@tannerotis they survived them by not sticking around in them and going to the moon instead. Their flight plan took them quickly through the thinnest known parts of the belts. The problem with the radiation belts isn't passing humans through them, its orbiting in them.
And in space there cant be wind so all those moon videos they are fake when the flag is moving and if they where in the moon really the flag would be still
@@KontulanSpiderMan ever heard of gravity? Its this thing that pulls stuff downwards, which causes ropes and fabric to swing back and forth when disturbed, only to stop due to air resistance and conversion to thermal energy. The moon flags were built to have an L shaped rod that the flag hangs off of, as wind wouldn't have been able to lift it like on earth.
My favorite thing about the Apollo missions is seeing the astronauts bounce around and move joyfully like children
tbf, id probably have done the same
scratch that, i definitely would have done the same
I don’t think They did it intentionally I think it was because of the gravity of the moon and the structure of the suites
Imagine going sledding in one of those
Well it wouldn't work in the Arizona one

Especially for Japan
excellent explanation sir I am just 12 yrs old and I understand your explanation perfectly
A small video for Veritasium, a big video for community!
Obviously they were leveling up their radiation resistance
The fact that the guy said "yes sirr" in the moon is such a legend
That shot right at the start showing all of the craters was insane after seeing how big only 1 is and there's over 900!
Thanks for making this video in celebrating Apollo 50th anniversary.
Damn you Vsauce
1 meter wide hole, was drilled down 635 feet deep ... damn, get your units straight!
Yanks. What can ya do?
It’s what’s common to a lot of aviation around the world. Meters in horizontal distance, feet in vertical.
After the sign that has "HISTORICAL SIGN" Is there long enough, does it get it's own historical sign sign?
Asking the real questions...
it's turtles all the way down
@@nuklearboysymbiote Hahahaha
Lol I love how bombs are still quantified in terms of TNT or dynamite sticks, as if it’s 1912 and most people know what that ‘feels like’
Oh man, a thousand sticks of dynamite!? I remember last week when I was excavating that hole near San Fran for gold that was a big blast, so it’s even bigger than that!?
I never understood how they recorded the houses getting obliterated. Also how are there people just chilling with glasses on looking a nuke explode
Well, the people chillin' were far away from the nuclear bomb's effect, and the houses were obliterated from the shockwave produced due to nuclear blast. But they were just normal houses. The camera was probably inside a reinforced nuclear bunker, facing away from the shockwave.

“Bigger than Rhode Island” is not saying much
cornholio 1 so you must be from Rhode Island because it’s a joke
cornholio 1 if you don’t care then why did you reply to him?
Brennan Crumb Fire Videos Rhode Island is 1212 squared miles which is coolio and it seems I was wrong
Brandon Mathis no I know but people say things that aren’t true

0:30 has anyone else got the "flipped hole" effect, thinking those were bumps?
no
Valleys or ridges?
Yes
I see bumps as well. There's some kind of light on the top-right which is probably responsible for it. If it was on the left the illusion probably wouldn't have happened.
It only seems to work if I hold my cellphone upside down
Whoever made the English caption, "Buzz Lightyear" really made me burst into laugh. LOL
