Is the United States about to start testing nuclear weapons again?
no
Recent comments by United States President Trump suggested that he is strongly considering testing nuclear warheads in response to real and perceived tests by other nuclear powers.
tl note: demented pedo in chief conflates nuclear delivery systems tests and nuclear warhead tests. this one in particular is about alleged tests of russian burevestnik nuclear powered subsonic nuclear armed cruise missile, seen by nobody, detected by nobody, other than announcements of russians only
it's a massively complex and expensive contraption, sold as russian wunderwaffe to unsuspecting public. with every new development like this, you have to wonder: did nobody did that before because it's really hard, or because it's really, really stupid?
it's definitely both, which also makes it entirely unnecessary. it's sold as a something to deliver nukes while avoiding american antiballistic missiles, and technically it's true, but pointless, because as subsonic missile it would be intercepted by regular air defense surface launched missile, which is much cheaper and widely distributed, as compared to antiballistic missile, which are horrifically expensive and won't work anyway. want to put nuke on enemy territory? we have a tool for that, it's called ICBM
but did nobody did that? also no. americans did that in 60s and discarded that idea, because ICBMs turned out to work better at lower price
but can trump do a nuclear test? also no, because while there are some designs from much later than nuclear tests moratorium, preparation would take something like three years.

yah that's direct fire, it's how it's supposed to work. what you say could also happen if crayon eater forgot to load one charge thing (MACS), or cut bag charge wrong way
yes LN2 is cheap-ish (about price of milk) but it's not free. gains you're talking about only happen when comically large dewars are used, these would have to be custom made for them - meaning nonstandard and not cheap
ah yes "just" 1nm precision scanning. even scanning at resolution of six single carbon-carbon bonds won't help you after cell walls and everything that was inside were shredded by ice crystals formed, as i think there's not really suitable cryoprotectant involved, if it's even developed for human-size tissues. i don't think it's a thing, and also freezing rate required would be likely impossible just because of typical human size
as it stands today, moore's law hit a wall, brain simulation is fantasy tech, and it'll remain so for considerable time, i'd even say probably forever (humans will have more pressing issues to deal with). copy is not original and maybe it'll be reassuring to other people, but these other people also are dead by that point so it's useless. the rest are futurologist noises coming from people who don't want to admit that they made a religion out of misinterpreted scifi
500 years in the future? mate, would you consider
Early attempts at cryonic preservation were made in the 1960s and early 1970s; most relied on family members to pay for the preservation and ended in failure, with all but one of the corpses cryopreserved before 1973 being thawed and disposed of.[14]
not even single one frozen today will remain so within 70, 100 years, nevermind 500
power outages at these facilities already happened, but it's a smaller problem in grand scheme of things. facility of this type promises to keep human meatsicle at 77K effectively forever (because magic tech to revive dead is not coming), for a single payment. this means they'll simply run out of power/liquid nitrogen money at some point and will have to shut down, and allow everything to thaw
Smaller payloads are often custom made, it's not a stretch to make a bigger one also especially considering that it's a thing that already happened previously. I've seen video of Ukrainians melting TNT out of mortar shells (it can be done with hot water) to put it in lighter, custom made drone payloads, surely there's a supply of TM-62s or loose explosives to use in this way
otoh sounds like a good thing, because it suggests that 155mm projectile supply is adequate
i think it's done because that's what they had on hand. engineer would recognize that shell is built to survive getting shot out of barrel, while drone dropped something doesn't have such constraint. this would allow for lighter shell in the same volume, or bigger and more destructive package with the same mass
fuck me sideways i'm no one then i guess?
no
