VIP Observers, Operation Greenhouse Painting

Operation Greenhouse was the fifth American nuclear test series, the second conducted in 1951 and the frst to test principles that would lead to developing thermonuclear weapons. The Dog explosion is more popularly known for an image taken of those viewing it than the actual explosion itself; the photograph depicts numerous VIPs wearing safety goggles sitting on Adirondack chairs while being illuminated by the flash of the detonation. The safety goggles worn by all those viewing the test in the picture have become somewhat of a museum collectors item. Many of the unprotected observers at the first nuclear tests developed later different forms of cancer. [...] –But if they have thermonuclear power, where do they conduct the tests and detonations? –On their own planet, sir. Naron rose to his full twenty feet of height and thundered –On their own planet? –Yes, sir. Slowly Naron drew out his stylus and passed a line through the latest addition in the small book. It was an unprecedented act, but, then, Naron was very wise and could see the inevitable as well as anyone in the galaxy. –Silly asses,– he muttered.
