The United States Nuked Space. It Did Not Go As Planned. Then Things Got Weird [3ByYA97W8mB]
Support our work: In 1962, at the height of the Space Race, the United States detonated a 1.4-megaton thermonuclear warhead 250 miles above Earth. It wasn't an accident, but a calculated military decision, born from the panic of Sputnik, and approved by people who believed they had run the numbers. Except, the numbers just didn't tell the whole story. This is the story of how the largest nuclear detonation conducted in outer space came to be, and why nothing like it can ever happen again.
