Unless he has a time machine he did not fight in the Russian Revolution.
Did you mean to write "Cuban" revolution?
"Unless he has a time machine he did not fight in the Russian Revolution."
Read the passage again for comprehension.
His dad's dad fought in the Russian Revolution.
Must be Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Labratory.
They worked on the Hydrogen bomb as well.
The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California is a scientific research laboratory founded by the University of California in 1952. It is primarily funded by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and managed and operated by Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC
Its principal responsibility is ensuring the safety, security and reliability of the nation’s nuclear weapons through the application of advanced science, engineering and technology.
LLNL is home to many unique facilities and a number of the most powerful computer systems in the world
LLNL was established in 1952 as the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Livermore as an offshoot of the existing University of California Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley. It was intended to spur innovation and provide competition to the nuclear weapon design laboratory at Los Alamos, New Mexico, home of the Manhattan Project that developed the first atomic weapons.
In 1957, the Livermore Lab was selected to develop the warhead for the Navy's Polaris missile. This warhead required numerous innovations to fit a nuclear warhead into the relatively small confines of the missile nosecone.
