It is worth noting (at least IMO), that today is the 50th anniversary
of the detonation of "Mike" -- a 10.4 MT thermonuclear weapon that
first demonstrated that humans understood and could recreate the
processes that power the stars.

Interestingly this is approximately equivalent to a 10-20m asteroid
striking the Earth.
