You are a courier, hired by the Mojave Express, to deliver a package to the New Vegas Strip. What seemed like a simple delivery job has taken a turn... for the worse
I can't believe that they missed the biggest pop culture item! The greatest monster of all time. GODZILLA!! He was created as a result of atom bombs and the original Japanese movie was very influenced by the fear of another bomb being dropped and the result of the explosion
Just came back from my own trip to Las Vegas. Saw Hoover Dam, did the Big Shot at the Strat, did the Avengers STATION, went to Red Rock Canyon. I drove my Meowwolf, the Pinball Hall of Fame, and the Atomic Testing Museum. Thanks for videos so I could see things I didn’t have time to see myself.
It's awesome they let you go through it even when they were closed. I was still using an ipod about 3 or 4 years ago and people would examine it like it was an ancient artifact. Lol I also remember using floppy disks in my first grade class and playing games on them to learn. Remember, in some older movies and TV shows they once held the key to saving the world. Lol
I remember my mom and dad talking about " Atom and Eve" tours...where newlyweds would make a road trip to see test sites, or get as close to them as you legally could. One of my uncles saw several above ground atomic tests, at various distances. That museum would be interesting! I want to go on a " Out West" road trip...that will definitely be a stop.
So nice of them to let you tour despite being closed. I remember the nuclear bomb drills in school. Interesting and unusual museum. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
Good morning Jacob, you surpass yourself, showing us this strange museum.The officials in Los Vegas have to give you a medal for the touristical service for the town.👍🇺🇸
My brother was metal detecting on our grandparents' house a couple of years ago and found one of those Manhattan Project pins that was apparently given to our grandmother who worked in Oak Ridge then.
I saw this place on an episode of California Gold a few years ago and I've wanted to go there ever since. So cool you got a private look. I can't wait till they open back up.
The Lost in Space robot was officially "B9", but within the show it was just referred to as the robot. Personally, I think it looked very different than Robbie (Robbie still exists, it has shown up on many other shows and movies, it was even in Lost in Space episode).
13:26 I use an 8mm kodak very frequently when I have film and same goes for the tape machine for recording lol i actually have that same akai in the next frame
I hate how when I'm older, CDs will be irrelevant, they already almost are now.... but my theory is they'll make a come back at some point just like record players, I still buy vinyls and CDs and I'm not stopping soon
My cousin took me there.I enjoyed the toy section. I had the atomic cannon,and the atomic red hots. Remember duck and cover in school?Here how that breaks down.1: you are under those old heavy wood desk. 2:You are in a brick building. 3:Flash, instance cremation.
That was really cool of them to let you in even though it was closed. It is free publicity for them given your viewership. The uranium in children's testing sets is not surprising. There was a company in The area that made a fortune selling home Geiger counters to encourage would be prospectors to search for uranium deposits in thier own back yards, and thier was a company selling dishware that had used uranium in thier paints. A lot of ladies that painted the dishes wound up dying of cancer due to the painters habit of restoring the tips of thier paint brushes by pressing flattening it with thier lips. The Robot from Lost in Space was technically designated as B-9. It's original purpose was environmental analysis and defense. The Robinson family simply addressed him as Robot, Dr. Smith of course had a whole slew of insults for the Robot!
You know you've made it when a museum lets you have the whole place to yourself! Great video as always! I'm glad the pandemic isn't causing too much of an interruption in your travels :)
My grandfather worked there i know you saw bricks with names inscribed on them his was LtCol Walter Sanborn he was a navigation officer working with nukes in the 50s and 60s it was awesome to visit this place
one thing I find super interesting is that vegas capitalized on the testing of the nuclear bomb, they called it atomic tourism and people would travel to Vegas to watch them test the atomic bomb. I read an article on it for my 12th grade history class and it has stuck with me ever since
I remember one time I saw this documentary about the workers who would out and pick up all the parts, debris, etc. after a test bomb was dropped. The images they showed and what happened to these people were alarming. They did get some kind of compensation for what happened to them...but it wasn't enough. There's a gentleman in the film they are interviewing...but you never see ALL of him....then they pull back the camera at the end....and you see he has this MASSIVE arm/hand.....It made you think....
Hey! Saw you on Solomonster's AEW chat. Love when2 of my different content providers intertwine(doesn't sound right but hey whatever lol). Last I checked I still have tickets for Blood and Guts in NJ lmao
