    There was also a plan to explode nuclear bombs on shorelines to create artificial harbors, and of course the infamous Project Orion, a manned interstellar spaceship powered by exploding hydrogen bombs. Doing unhinged shit with nukes was all the rage back then I guess

      If you haven’t seen it, “The Three Body Problem” is a good series with a lot of wild ideas.

      They use the hydrogen bomb spaceship idea.
