I bet nuke applications take off after the meteor due to it being a "good" or "savior" tech.

Another thought on this setting. The Cold War seems to have caused a long term movement of US politics to the Right except for a backlash in the 1960's. In this world, fighting a proudly right-wing dictatorship (even if no present day American Right-Winger would except that view of the Nazis it is how they presented themselves and how many others including the Americans saw them at the time) America would likely move to the Left. The 1960's would have been a period of Right-wing backlash.
