| Summary: | "Examines the scientific, military and political motivations behind the space nuclear weapons testing program, the pressing need for information on antiballistic missile systems, the hazards posed to artificial satellites, astronauts and cosmonauts, and what implications the tests hold for the future of U.S. Security. It also includes extraordinary space footage that reveals awe-inspiring, manmade auroras created by nuclear detonations and reviews the radiation belts resulting from these tests and the lingering effects the 'Rainbow Bombs' have had on the near space region of earth."--Goldhil Web site. |
