Because obviously, if you aren't sure of the answer, the safest and most productive solution is just to do it and nuke it and see what happens.

Because that's science.

This is, you know, that's...

I guess it's like using our entire universe as a guinea pig feels safe to me.

Yeah, right.

It's a closed system.

Let's put some radiation inside of it and see what happens.

We're going to shake the snow globe with some uranium.

We're a resilient species, right?

We can handle our own fallout.

Is there a why here?

Like, is there a reason why it would be advantageous to be able to nuke space?

It's a great question, Lizzie.

And I think that the answer is just the Cold War brought out terrible judgment in especially in our sort of military weapons testing apparatus.

People got killed.

real excited about nuclear capabilities and just wanted to see what they could do.

And so, of course, they just go way out over the middle of the Pacific and just start setting off nuclear bombs.

I think they just wanted to see if this was would be an effective weapon.

It turns out it kind of is, but in a way that no one quite expected.

So and at this time, too, we're detonating.
