Just saw an old (1958) film on YouTube about atomic bomb effects on aircraft and the amount of experimentation that was involved...
Aside from needing an emotion showing a person hitting the floor repeatedly...
I am fine.
No didn't find one.
Okay, mission parameters required by SAC, required a fifty percent of maximum exposure to thermal radiation - gamma, x-ray et el weren't considered due to the fact that by the time of detination, it would have been too little to worry about...
Not sure if I believe that.
Considering that they down played the problem with fallout.
So, what does this mean for Starships?
According to Gene Roddenberry, and FASA, the deflector screens (FASA) are supposed to take 10 megajoules of weapon effects. Meaning that a five megajoule is the desired limit. Not allowing for surge events. Going by the Honor Harrington universe, the maximum allowable for civilian ships would be 70 percent, 80 percent for military.
This is based upon data recorded in the site 'Pearl's of Weber'. Don't know if it is still there.for acceleration rates of military versus civilian ships.
Commercial ships are designed for maximum endurance for the ships in question, with as little maintenance as possible. Military ships are designed to win...
Notice that I referred to the deflector screens of Star Trek, not the hull. In other words Gene Roddenberry got the straight dope, on what was required. Keeping in mind that there is no transmission of atmospheric effects in space for some strange reason.
