Скачать или смотреть Starfish Prime: The Nuclear Test That Turned the Sky Red 🌌

On July 9, 1962, the United States detonated a 1.4-megaton nuclear weapon 400 km above the Pacific Ocean.
From Waikiki’s rooftops, it looked like a free light show: the night sky turned green, then blood-red, as an artificial aurora spread over Hawaiʻi.
But behind the spectacle, Starfish Prime quietly knocked out streetlights, crippled a telephone link, and created a man-made radiation belt that slowly killed some of the world’s first satellites – including Telstar 1.
In this documentary we break down:
• Why the U.S. tested a nuclear bomb in space during the Cold War
• How the high-altitude EMP hit Hawaiʻi 1,400 km away
• The invisible radiation belt that damaged American, British and Soviet satellites
• How Starfish Prime helped push world leaders toward the 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty
• What this forgotten experiment still teaches us about EMP, space warfare and our fragile tech-dependent world today
