Operation Plumbbob

Published: Jan. 30, 2021, 6 p.m.

In 1957 the United States embarked on its most controversial series of nuclear tests. These tests took place on US soil in the state of Nevada. 

They detonated 29 devices and tested a wide number of things, including how blasts would damage builds, pigs, and soldiers. They detonated bombs on towers, from balloons, and even underground. 

And, according to legend, they might have even accidentally launched the first man-made object into space.
