Let me tell you about an #AtomicAge monstrosity

#ProjectPluto

It wasn't a #nuclear #missile, it was a nuclear *powered* missile. So it could fly almost forever

Do you see the teensy tiny problem?

The fucking thing constantly spewed nuclear #radiation

🤦

Luckily canceled

Constantly irradiating the atmosphere might be slightly bad huh?

Glad to put that in the dustbin of history

Right?

@benroyce I read an article about that type of nuclear missle. The author described it as a “flying Chernobyl”.

@Robgbysea

well now it's real rather than some old cautionary tale

thanks to fucking Russia
