It was an even weirder book, as I recall.

Speaking of weird 80s SciFi/Fantasy:

There is an ancient Bruce Dern movie I kind of sorta liked a bit, scifi.  The funny thing is how the two robots mirror R2D2 of later fame.  I started watching this a few years back with some anticipation though and found it a bit off.

It's extending that quality from 2 minutes to 2 hours that's the tricky bit.

I think we'd all expect a rather trite story line (well known) with some kitschy acting and a lot of fight scenes.  It's not meant to be an artistic masterpiece.

I'm still wondering why Oppenheimer was thought to be some great movie, I think it went over my head.

Incidentally, the Hiroshima weapon was based on uranium and the design was never tested, they "knew" it would work, it was a rather simple design.  They didn't spend much time on any of that.  Maybe I said this.

Patrick McCafffery mentioned Iowa's OT win over Wisconsin was like falling out of a airplane and needing a parachute.  It got me wondering what movie was it where somebody falls out of a plane without a parachute and survives.

I saw it recently done on the TV show Scorpion,  an under-rated TV show in my opinion,  if you don't take the show too seriously.

  I came up with a movie.   Point Break with Patrick Swazye and Keanu Reeves.

And Another movie known more for its stunts.  Mission Imposdible:  Fallout

Hey, Oddball, this is your hour of glory. And you're chickening out!

To a New Yorker like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Tigers.

If you want to learn a whole lot more about both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki weapons, the Trinity Site in New Mexico is open twice a year and they do a great presentation.

I'm far from a nuclear physicist but the general principle is that to get a bomb you need to compress fissile material into a dense enough mass. The untested bomb was a "gun type" bomb in which a fissile uranium "bullet" was fired into a tamper to cause the requisite compression.

The tested version, "gadget" as the test bomb was known, was an implosion weapon in which the detonation of a sphere of conventional explosive around a fissile core led to the nuclear explosion.
