The consensus of our party of 7 was that of a museum who done.
However, there is one failing: The video. The moralizing and justifying of the entire nuclear program is quite one-sided, hanging on the fear that we would now be in a dictatorship if it wasn't for the cold war nuclear program. That is perhaps possible, although recent events show a domestic threat is more likely.
It is good to make the argument that this program provided deterrence against those who threatened us with destruction especially the USSR. What went unaddressed was the actual costs of this program; robust estimates of early deaths from cancers and other diseases from both downwind effects of nuclear testing and nuclear workers' exposures. Our father was one of these fallen workers.
Give people a balanced view to ponder.
