The Japanese and Mass Suicide: Isn't It Obvious?

Today's Film:

Atomic Cafe 1982

It begins with the Primary recollection of Paul Warfield Tibbets, Jr. (February 23, 1915 – November 1, 2007)-Pilot of the Enola Gay. I am latently struck by his similarity to The first human in space, Russian Yuri Gagarin, April 12, 1961. Orbited around the Earth for 108 minutes.

* The first woman in space was Russian Valentina Tereshkova, June 1963.

**Alan Shepard was the first American and second person in space on May 5, 1961 on a 15-minute sub-orbital flight.

***The first American woman in space was Sally Ride, during Space Shuttle Challenger's mission STS-7, on June 18, 1983.

-More so than a Veteran-an Astronaut. Imagine the rest of this guy's life. He described his initial response as being too similar to a tourist for a minute. The profundity confounds me.
It is the most beautiful thing a man can witness, as much as God- we are told by a Chaplain and Bomb Tester (he wears a white painted cross on his army issue helmet) in a Training video...***amongst some other irradiated bliss***

The Film raised some questions:

Why was it made in 1982?

Was there a significant nuclear event?

If so, what was it?

What if they weren't H-Bombs anymore...what if their facility were "Natural Causes"?

Have the Electromagnetic Wars already begun?
