Nuclear weapons in space wouldn't work anyway because there is no oxygen in space to produce the explosions. Rep Mike Turner is a idiot for even suggesting space nukes.
I think the idea was firing nuke weapons from space on to the targets on land.
Even if that was the idea, they would still burn up before reaching land.
Not necessarily, detonation upon impact.
You should maybe not comment on things you can’t comprehend and don’t understand.
No. In the 1960s, the Soviets tested a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS). It delivered a re-entry vehicle to a very-low altitude orbit and would de-orbit to engage a ground target in the usual manner of a nuclear warhead.
Oxygen has no role in a NUCLEAR detonation. They have two effects: (1) an electromagnetic pulse, and (2) an X-ray "slap" that can physically damage space objects.
