Almost 2000 bombs. That's about the amount that would be dropped in a nuclear war. Kind of puts into perspective all the scenarios that show nuclear winter after war.

There's a difference between quantity and size but interesting none the less.

Starts off kind of slow but around the 3:30 mark it starts to remind me of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

How many times do you have to 'test' before you go "Ya, I'm pretty sure this will work if we ever have to use it."

I was trying to see if there was a pattern for what time of year they test. Looks like all the time.

Maybe this isn't so fictional..
