On this day in history, back in 1945, the first detonation of an atomic bomb occurred in the Los Alamos desert. 21 kilotons of explosive force shook the sky and obliterated the ground below. Since then, the destructive capabilities of atomic and nuclear weapons have risen astronomically. Today, I wanted to get behind the mic and remember that day in 1945. I often wonder what it would be like to be there in that moment, and to witness the first instance when humans developed the technology strong enough to destroy themselves. It’s wild to think about it, especially when you consider the ominous implications that loom above. With that said, nuclear threats are more relevant than ever in today’s times; we are in a modern-day Cold War with communism again. Tune in as I cover the events at the Trinity test site, the differences between atomic and nuclear weapons, why a day like the one in 1945 is so important to recognize and remember, and ponder humanity’s only hope in the Atomic Age.
