One Step for Mankind

That step is the elimination of what has been called our most destructive weapon, the B53. It's a thermonuclear bomb that is not exactly tiny; it weighs about 10,000 pounds and is roughly the size of a minivan. The B-53 was unbelievably powerful. It was built to produce earthquake-like shock waves that would destroy everything in its path, whether above or below ground. It was 600 times more powerful than the bomb we dropped on Hiroshima.
