Has a nuclear weapon ever been tested in space?

Question

And is there any footage available on the web?

Answer 1

Yes. USA and USSR have performed quite a number of high altitude nuclear tests in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

I saw pictures but no video, but I haven't done much searching so give it a try yourself.

Edit: these tests were done at altitude as high as 540 km. Anything over 100 km (60 mi) can be classified as space. (see second reference). The International Space Station, for instance, orbits at an altitude of 330 km (180 mi).

Answer 2

it may require international government to make effective it, so I could desire to assert "no" simply by fact from what i understand of government, i think of world government could be catastrophic for the human species, and for all existence on earth. I stay interior the cleanest straightest united states interior the international. As a Federal prosecutor, I helped to make it that way. yet my government is a parliament of prostitutes. those that have not quite been indicted for corruption in many circumstances resign for their infidelity or their adventures interior the adult males's room, or their adventures with pages, or their desire to stay away from drawing close indictment in the event that they do no longer resign. The United countries is a everyday cesspool of graft, incompetence, greed, corruption, and robbery. So communicate approximately prevalent ban the bomb schemes falls flat with me simply by fact I see what considered one of those scheme could entail. If each and every of the regulation abiders have the nuclear weapons taken away by the international government Police rigidity, then the only one's with nuclear weapons often is the outlaws and the international government Police rigidity. getting rid of weapons is a fool's errand besides. the fabric is on the marketplace. The technologies is on the marketplace. If the towelheads can build a bomb all and sundry can. If the query have been "could this is a greater advantageous international if there have been no nuclear weapons?" Then of path the respond is particular. If i could desire to push a button and all nuclear weapons and understand how and technologies could desire to by surprise disappear invariably, could I push it? of path i could. yet wobbly creatures with one thumb of their mouth and one thumb on the different end, and who save switching thumbs back and forth, and quite merely wanking wobblies and that they've little or no to assert that a rational guy or woman could spend 5 seconds on. We quite could desire to make progression, and alter into greater non violent and greater civilized. yet adventures interior the Vapor-Zone --- floating interior the Basket of Cloud-Land merely waste time and interest that could desire to be greater advantageous deployed someplace else. Get actual!

Answer 3

No and I highly doubt it will happen in our life time. Maybe several decades after we've reached a Type 1 civilization.

Answer 4

USA the first sole PROPIETER user of atom bomb ( USA used against JAPAN).

If all start making ATOM BOMB, which is propitery of USA; THEN USA can not control the WORLD. It is natural that the SOLE PROPIETER HAS THE RIGHT OVER ATOM TECHNOLOGY.


However USA, the propieter, is kind enough to grand permission to other nations for PEACEFUL use.

All can use it for PEACE (except propieter user- USA).

Like POOR india is making deal with USA for peaceful use by POOR Indian.
