It may sound like a plot straight out of a science
fiction novel, but a U.S. mission to blow up the
moon with a nuke was very real in the 1950s. At
the height of the space race, the U.S. considered
detonating an atom bomb on the moon as a display
of America's Cold War muscle. The secret project,
innocuously titled 'A Study of Lunar Research
Flights' and nicknamed 'Project A119,' was never
carried out. However, its planning included
calculations by astronomer Carl Sagan, then a young
graduate student, of the behavior of dust and gas
generated by the blast. Viewing the nuclear flash from Earth might have intimidated the Soviet Union
and boosted U.S. confidence after the launch of Sputnik, physicist Leonard Reiffel told the AP in a
2000 interview. Reiffel, now 85, directed the inquiry at the former Armour Research Foundation, now
part of the Illinois Institute of Technology. He later served as a deputy director at NASA.Sagan, who
later became renowned for popularizing science on television, died in 1996. The author of one of
Sagan's biographies suggested that he may have committed a security breach in 1959 after revealing the
classified project in an academic fellowship application. Reiffel concurred. Under the scenario, a
missile carrying a small nuclear device was to be launched from an undisclosed location and travel
238,000 miles to the moon, where it would be detonated upon impact. The planners decided it would
have to be an atom bomb because a hydrogen bomb would have been too heavy for the missile. Reiffel
said the nation’s young space program probably could have carried out the mission by 1959, when the
Air Force deployed inter-continental ballistic missiles. Military officials apparently abandoned the idea
because of the danger to people on Earth in case the mission failed. The scientists also registered
concerns about contaminating the moon with radioactive material, Reiffel said. When contacted by the
AP, the U.S. Air Force declined to comment on the project.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie is a 1995
American documentary film directed by Peter Kuran and
narrated by William Shatner. Using restored archive footage,
the film traces the development of nuclear weapons and their
testing, from America's Trinity test of 1945 (hence the title) to
the first Chinese atomic bomb test in 1964. Kuran's
commentary on the DVD version claims that the DVD
replaces some of the original footage with better-quality
versions. There are some short special effects sequences too.
The film has also since been released on Blu-ray.
Included is footage of nuclear tests starting with the May
1945 trial run to Trinity (the first atomic bomb), a 100 ton
TNT blast used to scale and calibrate the Trinity device, and
ending with the last U.S. atmospheric nuclear detonation
(called Tightrope) of the Nike Hercules air defense missile in
1963. Also included are test series in the South Pacific, and
footage of the firing of the U.S. Army's atomic cannon at the Nevada Test Site in 1953, and color
images of multi-megaton high altitude air bursts over Johnston Island just before the limited test ban
                                                        treaty went into effect (banning all except
                                                        underground detonations) in 1963.
                                                        The film's publicity claims that much of the
                                                        American footage is newly declassified and
                                                        previously unseen. Kuran's research brought him
                                                        into contact with many of the cameramen who
                                                        photographed the American tests, leading to the
                                                        production of another documentary, Atomic
                                                        Filmmakers, which featured their reminiscences
                                                        of working on the program. A new patented
                                                        image restoration process was used for the first
                                                        time to improve considerably the image quality
                                                        of old and fading film stock.[1]
