When you think people had learned their lesson by the 1930s, don't forget about watching atomic bomb tests from the side of the road in Nevada in the 50s: https://allthatsinteresting.com/atomic-tourism

If totally do it if it were even close to safe. Is a small yield blast dangerous from 75 miles?

You can use Nukemap to work that out:

Same here. While I sincerely hope nuclear weapons will never again be used against humans, I dream to be able to see a real nuclear detonation with my own eyes, from as close as safely possible.
