Very off-topic, but I recently learned that one of the first nuclear detonations possibly (its unknown and disputed) sent the first man-made object into space (a large manhole like cover to seal the bombsite). Nice YT video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSeL5c65v-g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSeL5c65v-g
