While the world was watching the 1970s disco era, a satellite over the Indian Ocean caught a "double flash" that changed the Cold War forever. 🛰️💥 Most people know the spy stories, but the real "Project Samson" is a masterpiece of high-tech shadows and deep-sea silence. 🧵

Ever wondered how the USSR built an atomic bomb just 4 years after the US? 💣 Everyone in the West expected it to take a decade or more. But in 1949, "First Lightning" shocked the world. Was it brilliance, theft, or something darker? Let’s dive in. 🧵

So, thank the gods for the @internetarchive ! When the #HistoricIpswich website recently went defunct, they had snapshots of most of the pages and historic photographs! Creating PDFs of some of the materials that I thought were gone forever, like this gem!
Yes, they wanted to build a #NuclearMissile silo AND a #NuclearPowerPlant in #IpswichMA! (They built the #NuclearPlant in #SeabrookNH instead)!

Today’s #TMYK (3/365) is also a #PSA: The guidelines for visiting the Trinity test site (location of the first nuclear weapon detonation) have been revised.
Visitors are now permitted only one day per year (used to be two) and the Alamogordo Caravan has been indefinitely canceled. 😭
There is good news, though. Signups are no longer required and it doesn’t seem there’s a cap on attendance.
I know where I plan to be on October 18!
