Due to ex. gravity, whether it’s at altitude or not is a bit of a nit
- adastra22 3y agoAt over 100km it was in space. Three nukes were exploded in space, probably at orbital velocity too. The fact that this was over Antarctica was almost inconsequential.
- wkat4242 3y agoWhy at orbital velocity? It's much more efficient to not reach orbital velocity if you just want to explode something at 100km. And an explosion is a momentary thing so there's no need to be in orbit.
- mixmastamyk 3y agoUnlikely that it launched from Antarctica, meaning velocity.
- justrealist 3y agoRead the OP link... they were all launched from US navy vessels.
