The coolest thing I’ve seen in years

I was looking at the google satellite maps from P-Man’s blog, and I found the coolest thing. During the Cold War the US tested more nukes in the US than I’d care to remember. Many of there were in the Nevada Proving Grounds. I was looking around in northern and central Nevada, and I’m pretty sure I’ve found pictures of where they were detonated: A lot of craters, a big friggin’ crater, a fake town we blew up, and a strange level of construction activity.

These may not be actual craters, since many of our tests were underground, in which case these are piles of dirt over grounds zero. Either way, it’s damn cool.
