The largest nuclear bomb in outer space exploded 64 yrs ago today.
Starfish Prime was a 1.4 megaton thermonuclear warhead, detonated at the altitude the Space Station now orbits. It created man-made radiation belts that wrecked many satellites & lasted 5+ years.
A year after the test the USA & USSR signed the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, leading to the global 1967 Outer Space Treaty.

In GoldenEye (1995), James Bond didn’t just chase the bad guy.
He stole a 42-ton Soviet T-55 tank and turned St. Petersburg into a demolition derby.
The crazy part?
• No CGI.
• 3 real tanks bought for ~£10k each.
• Rubber tracks fitted so they wouldn’t destroy city streets.
• Tested by smashing through actual walls and cars.
• Stunt driver hit 35 mph while Pierce Brosnan “drove” dummy controls.
• Brosnan casually fixes his tie mid-rampage.
• Crew hand-emptied 90,000 Perrier cans for one truck crash.
• The statue stuck on the turret? A last-minute “let’s try it” idea.
