Project A119 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Project A119, or "A Study of Lunar Research Flights" was a 1950s top-secret plan developed by the United States Air Force with the intention of dropping an atomic bomb on the Moon. ....The A119 project is allegedly classified. The sole source for information on the nature of project comes from a retired NASA executive, Dr Leonard Reiffel, who claimed to have fronted the project in the late 1950s at the US military-backed Armour Research Foundation.
Dr. David Lowry, a British nuclear historian, commented: “It is obscene. To think that the first contact human beings would have had with another world would have been to explode a nuclear bomb."
Do not be confused. This wasn't a "A Study of Lunar Research Flights". It was a project to study the feasibility of dropping nuclear weapons on the moon. No, it was not merely to showcase our technological prowess against the Soviets. Do not fall for elite propaganda that easily. We dropped two nuclear weapons here on Earth in Japan- the Soviets knew what we were capable of; we didn't need to prove anything by then dropping them on the moon. Whether we could go to the moon or drop a nuclear weapon on it- had no impact on the power dynamics of the cold war. Please.
The United States and the Soviet Union (under program E-4) planned attack of the moon with nuclear weapons.
The reasons were not those advertised. Do not be a lemming. A119 remains classified not because we want to hide an attempt to promote Western ingenuity over the Soviets (which has been replaced by Russia). The reaity is that these attempts were designed to help break the "control system". They were the closest thing we have to sending Skywalker to destroy the death star.
In 1962, JFK approved a plan, which was implemented of detonating nuclear weapons in space above Hawaii. This was actually done and few Americans know about it. See here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128170775
This was also part of our trials leading up to implementation of A119. We wanted to keep all options open. Kennedy was removed from office. We decided to pursue a "peaceful" mission to the moon (or not). After a few pointless moon missions, we were instructed not to repeat our visits, and the rockets and technology required for human visitation of the moon were removed from inventory.
The Space Race represented a newfound confidence in man's ability to confront those that have kept us under control. The energy of the human rebels was quickly quashed and has been buried under propaganda to distort the purpose behind these actions.
