Why am I not surprised?
There were MANY paranoid fools in the early sixties spending thousands on a bomb shelter.
How's YOURS coming along?

A very very close associate developed UAV's at the time.. He said "They're Cheap, We can Swarm Them"
The cruise missile road ruled the path..  Million Bucks a shot. 
The exact same plane is (was?) built by Iran, Sold to Russia, and droned on Ukraine today.

Zeets, I hav shared I have a degree in Nuclear Engineering.  I was Born by The Beltway so some may deduce I was in the very small Department at UoMD in College Park.   Look up Dr. Frank Munno Washington Post  if you want proof, you'll get a hit...

We calculated the the critical masses of Isotopes. We used some of the first computers in existence to aid with the calculation. U235 Fissile Warhead is a beach ball..  PU239 Warhead is a volleyball. PU241 Warhead is a softball..

It was very clear to me in study that a missile delivery system was not neccessary.  If it fts, it can ship right into the port in Baltimore.. Kaaaahhh Whommpp!
The Cold War, you remember it, you are old enough.  Nagging in the back of everyone's mind were the 99 Red Balloons.  Mr Gorbachev tore down the wall and started make Pizza Hut Commercials..  There has been breathing room since then..Until recently....

Today  "I Have A Dream" has become "I  Live in a Nightmare".  And the Oppenheimer Index is back up.
