US to build new nuclear gravity bomb::Experts say this new higher-yield nuclear bomb appears intended to pave the way for retiring the older B83 megaton bomb.

Maybe do a nuclear gravity power plant first? Provide the tax players cheap clean energy instead of more threats of war.

You wouldn't download a power plant

But how are we going to protect the power plant without the bomb? /s

Honestly… this is kind of how that might happen? Defense spending and research has always been the vanguard of technological development and then it’s waylaid to private sector development and R&D.

Once it’s proven effective they can then reverse engineer it to do something constructive.

Because the US can’t be bothered to find non blow-uppy projects until later.

A nuclear gravity bomb is a standard nuclear bomb that is dropped from a plane, instead of launched on a rocket.

This isn't some kind of new nuclear technology
