Not as cool as sending a tesla roadster into space to cruise the cosmos

Why the US once set off a nuclear bomb in space
Because we are global badasses when not encumbered by cisgendered-zero carbon footprint-vegan Generals ...

Does anyone know how the telegraph lines were electrified during the Civil War and before? Dynamo?

Early systems were both battery & dynamo. Later systems, I think all commercial were dynamo.

I once saw Civil War reenacters who re-created an old Army telegraph station. They had all of this vintage telegraph equipment - it was amazing. I’m pretty sure they powered things with big batteries.

There’s a very excellent documentary available called “Trinity and Beyond” that documents the US nuclear test programs up until the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Part of it shows the high-altitude tests conducted at Johnston Island. One of them knocked out power over a large area of the pacific from the EMP effect. Those were the days!

I remember when that happened, although we did not see anything as we were too far away.
It did make another radiation belt around the earth. Some were worried it might set the Van Allen Radiation belt on fire as shown in the 1961 movie VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
