Yeah, pull up our operations. What year was that? Like pre-satellites? 67, 68, somewhere around then, maybe slightly earlier than that. Okay. Because now you fuck up all the telecommunications if you did that, right? No, no, no. Well, maybe. It depends on where you do it, I guess. But a solar flare could fuck up all of our communications. Yeah. One good blast and all of our satellites are down.

Yeah. Starfish Prime is a high-altitude nuclear test conducted by the- It's just a test, Gregory. A joint effort of the Atomic Energy Commission and the Defense Atomic Support- Oh, 62. It was launched in Johnston Atoll in July 9, 1962. It was the largest nuclear test conducted in outer space and one of five conducted by the U.S. in space. A Thor rocket. Imagine your name on your rocket. Thor.

containing a W49 thermonuclear warhead designed at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, and a Mach MK2 re-entry vehicle was launched from Johnston Atoll in the Pacific Ocean about 900 miles west-southwest of Hawaii. The explosion took place at an altitude of 250 miles. Not that high. No. That's not that high. That's like right at the border of where I think the belts start.

I think the belts start at like around 300, 350, something like that. Starfish test was one of five high-altitude tests grouped together as Operation Fishbowl. I think in Hawaii they had power outages because of it. Wow. But did they have power outages? Does it say they have power outages in Hawaii? Does it say anything? This is the whole Wikipedia on the thing, right? Yeah. Hmm.

I believe they did. I think that was one of the issues. After Effects. Okay, here it goes. What? There was much uncertainty and debate about the composition, magnitude, and potential adverse effects from the trap radiation after the detonation. The weaponiers became quite worried when three satellites in low Earth orbit were disabled. These included the TRAAC and the Transit 4B.

The half-life of the energetic electrons was only a few days. Oh. At the time, it was not known that solar and cosmic particle fluxes varied by a factor of 10 and energies could exceed 1 MeV, whatever that means. In the months that followed, these man-made radiation belts eventually caused six or more satellites to fail.

As radiation damaged their solar arrays or electronics, including the first commercial relay communications satellite, Telstar. Telstar. Yeah, as well as the United Kingdom's first satellite. Detectors on Telstar, TRAAC engine, and Ariel 1 were used to measure the distribution of the radiation produced by the tests. So we fucked up England's satellite.
