  • Operated by the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Atomic Museum contains a large collection of declassified nuclear technology. Since its opening in 1969, the objective of the National Atomic museum has been to provide a readily accessible repository of educational materials, and information on the Atomic Age. In addition, the museum's goal is to preserve, interpret, and exhibit to the public memorabilia of this Age. In late 1991 the museum was chartered by Congress as the United States' only official Atomic museum. A family inspects Little Boy and Fat Man, the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. There were two of each built in case the first one failed to explode. Los Alamos, New Mexico. (1984).Information about the National Atomic Museum from .http://www.atomicmuseum.com/ [moved from lot 4]

  • Hungarian-born American physicist Edward Teller, who is best known as "the father of the hydrogen bomb". Seen here at his home in Stanford, California. Born in 1908, he obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Leipzig. He left Europe in the 1930s because of the Nazi threat. During World War II he worked at Los Alamos on the development of the atom bomb. In the late 1940s & early 1950s he championed development of the H-bomb & achieved the crucial technical breakthrough that made the bomb possible. The first H-bomb was exploded in the South Pacific in 1952. MODEL RELEASED.Teller died in Stanford, California on September 9, 2003. (Photograph, 1988)

  • Control Center of the Titan Missile Museum, Green Valley, Arizona. When the SALT Treaty called for the de-activation of the 18 Titan missile silos that ring Tucson, volunteers at the Pima Air Museum asked if one could be retained for public tours. After much negotiation, including additional talks with SALT officials, the Green Valley complex of the 390th Strategic Missile Wing was opened to the public. On display is a 110 foot tall missile, which weighed 170 tons when it was fueled and ready to fly.

  • John Manley - assistant to Oppenheimer for the Manhattan Project. Photographed in one of the original boy's camp lodges in Los Alamos, New Mexico, (1988) The Manhattan Project refers to the effort during World War II by the United States, in collaboration with the United Kingdom, Canada, and other European physicists, to develop the first nuclear weapons. Formally designated as the Manhattan Engineering District (MED), it refers specifically to the period of the project from 1942-1946 under the control of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, under the administration of General Leslie R. Groves, with its scientific research directed by the American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. The project succeeded in developing and detonating three nuclear weapons in 1945. MODEL RELEASED

  • Star Wars research: neutral particle beam accelerator at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The accelerator was part of the Reagan White House project for a space-based accelerator that could produce a high-energy, uncharged particle beam that might examine, disarm, & even destroy distant objects (such as ballistic missiles), as part of America's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) - the "Star Wars" program. Neutral (uncharged) particle beams are necessary because the influence of the Earth's magnetic field on electrically charged particles would cause them to travel in spirals. Los Alamos, New Mexico.

After much negotiation, including additional talks with SALT officials, the Green Valley complex of the 390th Strategic Missile Wing was opened to the public. Deep in the ground, behind a couple of 6,000 pound blast doors is the silo itself. The 110 foot tall missile weighed 170 tons when it was fueled and ready to fly. Seen here empty on its launch pad.

  • Video Suite animators working at Pacific Data Images (PDI) in Sunnyvale, California.  1992. The company does computer animation and digital film effects: morphing. In 1996 PDI began collaborating with DreamWorks SKG, which then acquired PDI in 2004. .Creating believable 3D animated characters (War Games) and seamless transformations known as morphing ("Black and White" and "She's Mad"), PDI has been at the forefront of computer imagery. The studio pushed the boundaries of morphing in Michael Jackson's video "Black or White" with a sequence of twelve dynamic transformations of moving characters. In the innovative David Byrne video "She's Mad," PDI pioneered the technology called performance animation, capturing the motion of David Byrne and infusing an animated character with his distinctive motion. .
