MM1 is near and dear to my heart - I spent 8y studying with hopes to resurrect some safety features that it had, having been fielded during one of the test bans.
The same guts were in a bomb and we just, in the last five years or so, took the last few apart. I was at the "factory" in Amarillo and a dude had a 5 gallon bucket of reefing rings from their parachutes in his office. "Want some?" he asked. Of course the answer is obvious and I now have parts from a ginormous H-bomb sitting on my desk.
