I think the inspiration for the Longbow was this bomb.

Yup, and I think the inspiration for the T-Bomb was this bomb.

You're probably just being an idiot, but I am curious to know why you picked the plutonium bomb instead of the uranium one.

 

[McGruff]

'Cause it was the one that really ended the show - the uranium one was more of a Hyperion1.

I don't think Hyperion was anything like Hiroshima -- it's more like Wing Commander's Trinity.

bombs are pretty. I heard its legal in utah to own a nuke just illegal to detonate said item. Wonder if that is true?

Believe me, I live in Utah, and if these mormons would EVER allow that then I have severely misjudged them.

True, Trinity was the first actual detonation, just as Hyperion was. But even after the Trinity test it remained to be seen just what would happen to a modern city even if the scientists had a pretty good idea. Hyperion showed exactly what a T-Bomb would do to Kilrah, and Hiroshima showed exactly what would happen to the rest of Japan's industrial centers if they didn't surrender.

Pretty sure the federal government would have issues with nuclear Mormons even if Utah says it's ok. Just as weed is still illegal under federal law in CA even though the state allows it for "medicinal" reasons.

Really? i thought they got rid of all perscriptions for weed all over the US...

 

[McGruff]

Exactly, it's illegal under federal law all over the U.S. which supercedes the California law allowing it. Medicinal weed outlets are not uncommon in leftist burgs like Berkeley, SF, Santa Cruz, etc. though they do get shut down now and then because, as you might guess, they're not too stringent about verifying the legitimacy of people's "prescriptions". If the federal government cared to, they have the authority to put an end to it - but they don't.

Hyperion was a test more than anything else.
