I'd over-classify my nuclear program if I hemorrhaged money like that.

Not to mention the canister launch platform, or the roadmap for rail-launching strategy. What a missile.

The site is also, iirc, a notable source of the world's tektite, a glassy debris byproduct of the impact event.

Reply to comment by yaminme in TIL about Operation Bernhard. During WWII, Germany attempted to bring about the collapse of the British economy by forging ≈£130 million in British bank notes. The notes are considered among the most perfect counterfeits ever produced, and are very difficult to differentiate from legitimate notes. by rkadeYT

The idea is that more fake money makes the real money worth less and reduces consumer confidence in the money. Just like how money is taken out of circulation often to keep the value up, the thought was a lot of money put into circulation with nothing coming out would be effective. It turns out, the most effective move would've just been to put liz truss in as PM.
