THE LIFING APPLIED BY THE UNITED STATES The first Apache helicopter was delivered to the United States Army in 1997 by Boeing. The United States Army now has more than 800 Apache aircraft in service. It has also exported over 1000 Apache helicopters worldwide to countries such as, the Netherlands, Singapore and Israel to name a few. In this time, the US Apache has had no recorded CSD incidents from over 4 million recorded flight operating hours. There has been no un-commanded initiation of the CSD

The Manhattan Project involved a long process of different steps to start the project and develop the atomic bomb. After President Roosevelt in scientists “took steps in 1939 to organize a project to exploit the newly recognized fission process for military purposes” (“Atomic”). One aspect of development was the “scientists at Oak Ridge [that] worked on uranium and others at Hanford on plutonium” (Schneider 197). The actual production of the weapons from the materials produced by Hanford and Oak

It was golden, purple, violet, gray and blue. It lighted every peak, crevasse and ridge of the early mountain rain with a clarity and beauty that cannot be described, but must be seen to be imagined” (1). On July 16, 1945, the first successful detonation of the atomic bomb was witnessed in Los Alamos, New Mexico. America had crossed the finish line first. A secret project, the Manhattan Project, had hurriedly worked on successfully creating the atomic bomb before Nazi Germany had, using world-renowned

technology needed to create the first atomic bomb. The immediate impact of the Manhattan Project was the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan, ending the war in the Pacific. However, more important influences of this project can be seen following the detonation of the first bombs. The emergence of the United States as a world superpower following World War II, the tensions derived from the

An IED, or improvised explosive device, is a bomb or explosive that is made using improvised materials. Often called a homemade bomb, they are cheap and very easy to construct with proper training. They are commonly found in Middle Eastern countries like Syria and Afghanistan, but have also been used in attacks like the 2015 Paris Terror Attacks or the Boston Marathon Bombing. In the beginning of The Other Side of The Sky, Farah Ahmedi steps on an IED on her way to school and loses a leg because

History The attempt for synthetic diamond was began in late 1800 with some unclarified reports of synthesis. Henri Mossain, a French chemist has done early works on synthetic diamonds by using electric arc discharge. Later Sir Charles Algeornon Passons tried to reproduce Moissan’s method. But later passon revealed that the diamonds produced by him were likely synthetic spinel [1, 2]. In 1954, H.Tracy Hall’s group used the belt press method and reported reproducible synthetic diamond

The United States nuclear weapons complex is complicated and very large. Because of this, there are certain government agencies that help to regulate, or control, the nuclear weapons. Those agencies that have a role regarding the nation’s nuclear weapons are the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Commerce, Homeland Security, Department of State (DOS), and most importantly, the Department of Defense (DOD) (whitehouse.gov). The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration

The Soviet Union Encounters the Bombing of Hiroshima The Soviet Union’s encounter with the atomic bomb detonations on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a seminal event that ignited tensions between The Soviets and The United States of America to the max. This resulted in the Nuclear Arms Race and the beginning of the Cold War. The purpose of dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was done more to “impress the Soviet Union than to cow Japan” (Washingtonsblog) Many historians suggest that Russian

On 6th August 1945, at 8:16 am, Little Boy was dropped by a US air force plane in the quiet skies of Hiroshima, and what happened after the detonation in the next few minutes changed the course of the world for many generations to come. Nuclear weapons are the cause of major destruction and an imminent threat always looming on our heads, and the effects of a “Hot War” or a single modern bomb dropped can be catastrophic. Scientists have spent years studying and calculating the effects of such a war

that same year. The plan proposed to drop several atomic bombs on naval ships to test the damages and effects in a controlled setting. Truman approved the plan on January 10, 1946, and preparations began immediately. The Subcommittee prepared for detonations above and around the island of Bikini, an isolated, sparsely-populated, American-controlled territory with naval and air force capacity in the south Pacific. On March 7, 1946, the 167 Bikini natives moved to a neighboring atoll and Joint Task Force
