That is because Starfish’s detonation was at 30,000 feet. The new detonations would be at 12 miles to 250 miles altitude. If 30,000 feet effects 900 miles away, how devasting would a 50 mile detonation be?

Another amazing outcome of the test was that the name “Starfish Prime” was a cool sounding motivation for a lot of very cool Star Trek planet names like Tau Ceti Prime
