Shape of a polar bear, if desired. You think that's a smoking gun?
Hey you gotta brag your wares. It ain't bragging if it's true.
And it's a really great way to dig, it's not blasting, it's boiling the rock, so the oxygen goes into the atmosphere, you crack it for a huge radius, it's a really good application of nuclear explosives. Explosives always had a dual use, war and mining, clearing rock.

The Soviets actually got beyond the "talking about it" stage on such a project, and tested nuclear explosives to build a canal. AIUI it did not in practice work very well, and was abandoned.

- daniel-cussen 4y agoYeah one nuke, one canal. That nuke, that canal. They did get it to put out a gas well fire, perfectly at the first try, and gas well discovery--made good money off that. Don't talk about that, or like falsify the toxicology oh oh radioactive danger danger! Haha. Like you know the guy who took the biggest direct risk with the Chernobyl regulus is still alive? Doesn't even have cancer. EDIT: nobody talks about the metallurgy of plutonium in all of this, huge thing. People think nuclear bombs don't have any specific personality, just uniform atoms, when Pu has the most complex metallurgy.
