It would actually not be very hard to make this today as a digital/analog sort of box. Their hypothetical machine could not calculate many of the unknowns — you'd have to pre-calculate fallout an input the variables. So it could be definitely improved upon.

It's actually kind of painful for me to read their report. They basically want to make NUKEMAP. But they couldn't really pull it off with the technology they had in 1965. The task of drawing circles on a map in high-res dynamically is HARD for the time.

We've come so far in some ways, and yet we haven't come that far at all in others.

Skeuomorphic interfaces can be frustrating to use with a mouse (touch UI is actually better), but for the 60’s aesthetic, it might be worth it. DM me if you want to kick some concepts around. I did a bunch of that early in my career.

What would be really powerful someday is to run nukemap with a game engine, where you could simulate destroyed landmarks, smoke, & fallout. In Oregon last year we had massive wildfires and ash everywhere. I could imagine what fallout was like.

I've mentioned in the original thread that some of the elements in this proposed display seem very similar to the same era Apollo Mission Control Display. It's a very interesting find!pic.twitter.com/Y370qY6A4H
