At Apex Outlander, we stand for unflinching truth—even when it means admitting we got something wrong.
A while back, we shared that our shelters were designed for a 1MT surface burst at ~0.5 miles, citing ~129 PSI over-pressure. After rigorous internal review and cross-referencing the most reliable unclassified sources (Glasstone & Dolan, modern models), we have to correct that: at 0.5 miles, you're inside or on the edge of the fireball—with a maximum fireball radius of ~0.6–0.7 miles (~1–1.1 km across at ~10 seconds post-detonation), core temperatures exceeding 100 million °C, and surface temperatures dropping from millions to thousands of °C. Metals (like steel) vaporize or melt instantly in this zone due to extreme heat far beyond boiling points. Over-pressures exceed 1,000 PSI. No exposed structure survives. #Truth #Accountability #Preparedness
The lower figure we originally referenced came from older Cold War-era documents (likely referencing Air-Burst Detonations). Looking deeper, it's hard not to wonder if some of those understated numbers were deliberate—part of a quiet counter-intelligence play to let adversaries underestimate the true destructive radius, relax their own hardening standards, and leave their assets more vulnerable. Whether that was the intent or just optimistic civil defense framing at the time, we'll likely never know for sure. But it underscores why we now triple-check everything. #ColdWar #HistoryLessons #survivalday
We're updating our public design criteria accordingly: our shelters are engineered for maximum realistic survivability at or near 1 mile from a 1MT surface burst (~100–150 PSI range, with deep earth cover and radiation stacking in mind). That's still an extreme threat profile—far beyond what most will ever face—but it's grounded in verifiable data, not wishful numbers. #Engineering #Hardened #RealTalk
Integrity isn't optional. Your trust isn't optional. We'll keep earning both by building on facts, not hype. The prepared don’t just survive—they thrive on truth.

#ApexOutlander #Shelter #Community
At Apex Outlander, we put your survivability to the MAX. Our designs are rated for up to a 1 MT Surface Blast at ~ 0.5 Miles from GZ. This area experiences about ~129 PSI. #Nuke#Blast
This Shelter is also designed to attenuate nearly ALL or slightly MORE Radiation that you'd be exposed too at this range. #Radiation #Shelter
Now, let's be honest here for a minute. DO YOU NEED a shelter that can protect you against this type of weapon? The answer is, it depends. Most #Nukes from our enemies are ~100 kT in yield. This is because they can have many 100kT Nukes for every 1x 1 MT. It's cheaper, more efficient, and helps increase the chances of them reaching the ground because there are so many. That being said, they will have some for 'Hardened Targets' such as American Nuclear Silos, Military Installations, and possibly mass casualty events on civilian populations (Russia and China are not shy about this). #Communism #War
Another factor people don't think about is what I call 'Radiation Stacking'. If there are multiple Nuclear events in your area, Fallout can accumulate from the local area and be higher in REMs than a single weapon would have produced. More Radioactive particles means increase in radiation dose. #Sickness #Death
Lastly, because of all of these reasons we are designing them under some of the worst cases possible requiring the equivalent of 99 inches of Earth Dirt above the shelter (and slightly more for good measure). #Safety #Emergency

@wigger Spanking kids is healthy for their early childhood development. Pain is a great motivator.
Dont be gay and weak like this guy, spank your kids.
@blueorigin Jesus christ. I wouldn't call that an 'anomaly'. That was a complete destruction of your rocket and possibly pad aswell.
I hope everyone is ok and i know your team will recover from this quickly, you have an amazing team. Good luck and God Speed.
