Never crosses their tiny minds.

Exactly. I came face to face with a protestor (from out of town, of course) who bitched at me about the fact that we opened Pandora's Box. When I asked if he'd rather have had the Germans or the Japanese open that box, he replied that it never should have been opened. I tried to point out to him that the research was going on before the war broke out, in both countries, and still he stuck with "it shouldn't have been opened." I agree, to a degree - it was a terrible engine that was crafted - but I'm glad that it was dropped from a United States Army Air Corps B-29, instead a Nakajima or a Focke-Wulf.

Hey Bob, back in the late 1950s, my Dad built missile bases at Fort Bragg and White Sands. I got to see two nuclear explosions and there is nothing like it! That flash of white, white light is unbelievable!
