> It would still be the most dangerous thing we've ever put in space by a pretty wide margin. I don't know about that. We set off a 1.4 megaton nuclear warhead in space back in 1962 just to see what would happen. (What happened is that we created a temporary radiation belt, knocked out a bunch of satellites, damaged some of the electrical and communication infrastructure in Hawaii, and caused some impressive light shows.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish_Prime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish_Prime
