The beauty of controlled explosions
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
“All planned and carefully engineered.”
Excellent observation.
All the biggest and the best demolition and explosive excavations are all planned and very carefully engineered.
The pros make things do exactly what they want.
And there is a beauty in that.
I wonder if China Lake 2O is Nitrogen 2O
I think this will be of interest

Controlled demolition, very precise, just like surgery:

And the sound signature is very distinct.
Now this is something other than a beautiful demolition.

This is a massive tragic failure of something, either the effects of a sink hole? Or a structural failure?
Rats !!
I thought that one M80 in my neighbors mail box was cool.
