I visited the USA in 2017 to see the total solar eclipse, and visited many historic sites and museums. But didn't see the Trinity site or museum. The USA is a massive country with so much to see, so hopefully one day... Greetings from Australia.

It was such an honor to see Tim's German uranium cube and overall research progress/presentation a few years back. Getting a chance to see that piece of history up close and personal was truly special. So happy to see it now in the museum and so nicely displayed for all to enjoy and learn from.

Been going to this museum since the 80s in all 3 of its former locations (Kirtland, old town Abq and now its current awesome location) It was my favorite museum as a kid and still is as an adult. (It was called the National Atomic Museum when it was on Kirtland AFB grounds)

Wow, what an incredible museum. Thanks for showing all the great stuff they have there.

6:35 Minuteman III is the only silo launched platform currently in service. The Titan and Peacekeeper are both retired. “Worldwide delivery in 30 minutes or less!”

I have been there and it is an incredible museum to visit. Some of it can be a bit dark, but it really does an amazing job of preserving our history of nuclear weapons. Being I am a huge Extreme Machines fan, I was super thrilled when I saw the conning tower from the USS James K Polk there.

Drew, I just found your channel yesterday. It was the video of your visit to the Trinity site from April. I just wanted to say your videos have been awesome. The quality of video, your ability to let exhibits speak for them selves, and your thoughtfulness of additional information on the content within the video is so good. Appreciate your work

What an awesome place. I now know why you suggested it on one of my previous comments on your Trinity Site video. Thanks for the brilliant video😊

Good stuff Drew. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks

Boy that was something! Thanks for taking the time to show it to us.

Scary as that technology is your music choice made it a relaxing experience haha! Love the video and keep up the good work!

that was awesome Drew, and it was even in 4k! Thanks!

Man, what a cool premise for a channel. You got my subscription!

WOW, just WOW!!! Thank you sir for sharing this with us! I would absolutely LOVE to go there in person and it has GOT to be on the bucket list before I die. What a treasure and a treat! Thanks again man 👍

What an incredible place! Thank you for sharing.

Nice job of museum tour guide! ❤ Enjoyed!

Thanks for the tour;looks like a vary informative and nice museum.

Thanks Drew that was a great watch 👍‼️✌🏽

Saw this museum a few years ago. It has come a long way since then! So cool. Thanks for the video.

I work for a company as a cyclotron engineer that makes the nuclear medicine. Enjoyed the video.

I am from Albuquerque NM but moved away around a year and a half ago. I am going back this upcoming December to visit and this museum is on my priority list of things to see!

Thanks for taking us along Drew.

I was born in Richland Washington and have always been fascinating with nuclear power. My Father worked as a manager at Hanford for about 40+ Years. I last year toll a tour of Hanford B reactor. The town of Hanford is about gone. The old high school is still there but not much else. I wish the government would do another blast and sell tickets. I think they would make allot of money. I watch all your blogs. Keep up your great work!

Awesome vid - love museums - great stuff Drew!

those uranium cubes have to be one of my favourite things. so futuristic looking

This video brings a refreshingly different perspective to the topic of nuclear energy, which is often neglected in the public discussion. As a German who witnessed the decommissioning of all nuclear power plants in my country, I think it is important to critically question this decision. It seems as if politicians have acted out of excessive fear of the potential dangers of nuclear energy, without taking into account the real and immediate effects of the alternatives. It is worth noting that we now get a significant part of our energy from fossil fuels such as lignite. It is undeniable that nuclear power plants can pose an enormous danger in the event of a disaster. But it is also important to remember that the burning of fossil fuels actually leads to many deaths every year. In other words, nuclear energy can kill, but other forms of energy actually do. One aspect that particularly fascinates me about this video is the fact that places that were actually hit by nuclear bombs can be visited today without any particular danger. This suggests that the radiation in the environment has reduced considerably. This leads me to a question I would like to pose: How has radiation levels in the oceans changed as a result of the discharge of highly radioactive water, as was the case after the Fukushima disaster, or as a result of the disposal of radioactive waste in the sea? Have these radioactive materials been dispersed and diluted in the vastness of the sea to such an extent that they ultimately do not have a major impact on the radioactive contamination of the environment?

Thank you Drew, For some of us across the world, it is extremely unlikely we will be able to visit this particular museum. I really appreciated the few seconds on the description cards for some of the exhibits. Love your work, keep it up mate, cheers from down under 👍

That's absolutely fascinating. If I'm ever there I'm definitely gonna have to visit. Thank you so much for sharing this.

This channel you have had opened a whole world of things I never knew about this stuff, I knew of the mines and that stuff but all the other aspects such as whats here is stuff I never considered.

We were there at Trinity Site the same day...looks like you were there either earlier or later than us due to the apparently smaller crowd size. I brought a 65 year old Godzilla figure and posed him in front of the bomb casing that was on display. Also got interviewed by a Japanese film crew, which was really interesting.

Just found your channel love your videos man :D they are really coool cant wait to see more

OMG this is so cool, Thanks for sharing!

I found your channel to be very interesting and informative. Was always fascinated by nuclear power and weapons. Plus 1 subscriber. Great channel

Another great video. Didn’t know about this museum and will check it out next time I’m there. Was just at the Titan Missile Museum in Green Valley AZ. Very cool tour of the launch complex and a sobering experience. The tour guide emphasized peace through deterance.

Thanks for taking your detectors along on the tour. It adds another dimension to the experience.

A former co-worker, when I worked for Cumberland Science Museum (now Adventure Science Center) in the 1980's, early 1990's, Jim Walther was the exhibits director there and later on, was the Executive Director for the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History for 26 years, and retired March 3rd, 2023. Jim was responsible for building up the impressive exhibits and visitor experience at the museum. If you ever make the trip to visit the Trinity site, you should also make a trip to visit the museum. It is amazing. Because of the popularity of the Oppenheimer motion picture, the site will probably be packed with visitors for the October 21, 2023 and April 6, 2024 upcoming dates, when the Trinity site will be open to the public. I agree with Drew that the April date is a nice time to visit.

Adding this to my bucket list for sure

I went there last year, and it was amazing! Need to go back and spend another afternoon there. Just a quick drive from where I live. The displays are amazing and a lot real items that were in service. What freaked me out was that "physics" package that was on the floor. It was so small, but so deadly.

Wonderful video, Drew! When I was little I remember a shoe store in Atlanta and I walked up to the XRay device and I saw my feet and shoes in the Xtay machine. I never saw that machine again. Thanks Drew for this video!

🤩🤩🤩 Kolejna rzecz na mojej liście "Musisz zobaczyć przed śmiercią". Dziękuje za świetny film. Twój kanał jest genialny !!!

Wow, had no idea this place existed. Now on my list. Thank you for sharing!!!

I didn't even know this museum existed - got to go check it out. Thanks Drew

Respect and thanks for your videos' contribution to popular science.

That metallic uranium cube is so cool, I would love to own something like that!

Great vid! I have the John Coster Mullen publication detailing the precise outer dimensions of both LB and FM, so some construction is in order!

If I ever get to visit the USA this is a must to visit. Thank you for showing.

Very interesting. I definitely want go see this museum.

wow, they put any effort into this with the polyethylene bricks and lead castle and the gadget, great filming and story telling !

Congratulations on 40k subs! You still deserve much more attention, but it's a lot better than 5k subs when I found the channel!

Really cool history! I happen to live not far from a decommissioned Nike missile site. It’s insane that not many people knew these weapons were even there.

Watching you pat the ICBMs is a little Dr Strangelovesque

Super cool. Gets on the list for my USA trip i dream of.

I didn't know this place existed. Gonna try and make a road trip to go visit this summer. Thanks!

I drive by there every morning on my way to work! I haven't had a chance to go visit yet, thanks for the tour!

amazing !! regards from Mallorca, Spain !

Great tour. We go there whenever we visit Albuquerque. My wife purchased some Tritium from the gift shop but they were out last time we were there. I got a couple of old civil defense dosimeters and they work great. I have the reset device for them.

That's a fascinating place. The outdoor static displays are in remarkably good condition.

Very very nice tour, thx

I got a chance to visit the museum when it was at Kirtland where I was stationed and some years later at one of the other sites. Nice video

Awesome museum. will visit

Titan was replaced my Minuteman. Minuteman was support to be replaced by Peacekeeper but then Peacekeeper got canceled and Minuteman is still in use today, over 50 years since it was introduced. Note: the German WW2 reactor program was an experiment to produce electricity through nuclear power, the German physicists involved did not think nuclear weapons were possible. They also got the physics wrong for producing electricity, their design was theoretically impossible.

One more history location I need to visit. Very cool.

wow that is a cool museum and a great video. thank you

Hey Drew, I love the videos brother. My friend Bob told me when he was a kid they had that machine you could look at the bones of your feet through the shoes right here in Massachusetts crazy stuff man. Stay safe and thank you for the videos they are awesome

Wow that Atomic Annie is in great shape. While stationed in Germany in the 80s got to see the GLCM bunkers at Ramstein Air Base and also stationed down the road from a former MIM-14 Nike Hercules nuke storage site, it was no longer used for nuke storage but it still had all the fences, guard towers and lights.

Was working at Holloman AFB a few years back and went to the museum then. It was featured in one of the early episodes of Breaking Bad.

14:49 An original cube from heisenberg test reactor is shown at haigerloch museum in south of germany. these were the last produced uranium cubes - after that a massive bomber raid in november 1944 destroys degussa plant located at frankfurt/m germany

very interesting, thanks Drew

wow, cool. thanks for sharing!

It is my favorite museum. I go there every once in a while.

That was a great virtual tour.

This video is great, this museum really puts into perspective just how terrifying but also incredible this machinery is. It's always difficult for me to fathom how humans were able to engineer incredible science...something that always makes my head spin is perspective as well...in 1903 humans just barely understood the concept of flight and within just a few decades we theorized and created nuclear technology and the capibility of wiping our existence of this planet; it's absolutely mental to think about. Also, can you imagine what it must have been like for the generation just born at the dawn of the 20th century lol? I dont think humanity will ever see such a rapid progression in science for a long time.

This is my new favourite museum! Definitely visiting it next time I’m in NM. So much Cold War goodness!

If you ever make it over to Tucson, I have some passes for the Pima Air and Space Museum along with the Titan 2 Missile Museum. Both are sites to see. Local antique shops have Bauer pottery too.

Never knew that this museum existed. Thanks for posting.....👍🇬🇧

very atmospheric music choice, i love it

This is awesome. I would love to get out there someday.

I'm sure he's read it before, but the book Command & Control by Eric Schlosser really got me interested in nuclear history. Also scared the ever-loving shit out of me lol

That was pretty cool. Thanks. Hopefully someday I will be able to visit. I began life in the Navy as Posiedon Missile Technician, so all of that stuff would be awesome to see. 😊

Another great, fascinating video by Drew. Thank you ! I've been fascinated by EVERYTHING atomic ever since I first heard a Geiger counter clicking when I was around 8 years old and when my father told me our sun was a star powered by atomic energy !! Hooked for life still 50 years later !! 😊

Wow Really Cool To Share your Tour With Us Thanks

Fantastic museum

How fascinating! Id love to visit this museum if I ever get a chance to come back across the pond! I'm curious as to how the staff manage their dosage and what safeguards are in place??? Of course I'm not suggesting for one minute that the establishment doesn't have such arrangements, I wouldn't even know how long the prolonged exposure would need to be to cause concern!

Wow i have to go see this. Thanks Drew

Greetings Drew. I've been enjoying your content as I have had a side hobby of traveling to many of the places you present so well here. One of the destinations that's been on my list I thought might be up your ally for a subject is, the filming of the 1956 movie The Conqueror. The atomic story has been around for decades but the elevator sales pitch is this, the movie was filmed in Utah during the Operation Upshot-Knothole tests at the Nevada Test Site. Many of the the cast and crew developed medical issues and dying at a much higher rate than average over the following years. This is noted as a Down Winder event is US nuclear testing. There is some content on the tube about the event but none really that have attempted to travel to the filming sights. These are the kind of ridiculous , and my friends call them, road trips I love to do. Wish you all the best and looking forward to your next video.

This is such an awesome video

2:47 - The outside exhibits also include the USS James K. Polk SSN 645 nuclear submarine sail. It looks like the sub is surfacing in the desert.

I love your music choices. I think I've told you that before.

Great video!

I have been dying to go to the Trinity site and this museum would make it even more worth my time and money!

Back in the late 70's one of the local department stores had a shoe sizer and my siblings and me would play with it! They still had it untill they closed in the late 80's.

Super cool!

If you were westbound through the city, you had to make Bugs Bunny's "left turn at Alburquerque." I was fortunate enough to tour that museum last month. There was so much to take in. I was impressed that there's a submarine there (okay, just the sail).

You're an excellent museum tour guide, thank you for the interesting visit. I learned a new term... "criticality"

Me and a friend actually went here a few weeks ago. It really is a cool place.

Last time i was in Vegas I went to The Atomic Museum and it was truly informative and interesting.

I visited that museum 10 years ago. It was great and I see there have been many changes to the exhibits since then. I also visited Los Alamos, but was unable to go to the Trinity site as the open day had been cancelled due to a national funding problem. I was NOT happy about that as it was one of the main reasons for my coming to the USA!

Awesome video!!!

I visited this fascinating museum a few years ago. It's a great destination if you're interested in nuclear science.

Thanks for sharing.
