I think putting a nuke on a rocket makes everyone nervous, not just the Americans...

  It's not "a nuke", it's a relatively small amount of radioactive material that is sealed inside a very strong capsule designed to survive almost any imaginable catastrophe during launch. The launches are from the coast out over the water. Yes there are still some risks, but in the grand scheme of things, the risks are nothing compared to the importance of exploring the universe.
