        The "Baby Tooth Survey" which showed high levels of Strontium 90 in kid's teeth born in the 1950s-60s was a prime factor in JFK halting all above ground nuclear tests. UK and USSR also signed on to the ban. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Tooth_Survey …

        My Dad’s best friend, Pete, went with his girlfriend and her class of elementary students to watch. Pretty much all died within 10 years... no one knew the risk. They thought sunglasses would do the trick 😢

        I saw my first one of those the summer of 1956. My dad was the meteorologist. I was six.

        The Obama administration has built more nuclear weapons, more nuclear warheads, more nuclear delivery systems, more nuclear factories. Nuclear warhead spending alone rose higher under Obama than under any American president. The cost over thirty years is more than $1 trillion.

        Amazing, isn't it, that we knew so little about the effects of radiation from these above-ground A-bomb tests only 60 years ago. And yet, there are some who might still deny the science of it all, and sign up for a seat to watch. Or would they?
