In the 1950s, the first autonomous atomic monster almost came into existence. Autonomous, because no one was controlling it – once sent to criss-cross the world, it would destroy everything it flew over. Atomic, because its engine was a ramjet powered by an unshielded 600MW atomic reactor. Monster, because it was supposed to carry 26 hydrogen bombs and also kill just by flying over thanks to the unshielded reactor. If it was ever released, there would probably be no tomorrow for mankind.
