I don't think that a nuclear explosion 300 miles above the surface would, in fact, do any such thing.

"I don't think that a nuclear explosion 300 miles above the surface would, in fact, do any such thing."

Mukes were tested in space before..............

During the heart of the Cold War, the United States and the former Soviet Union launched and detonated a combined total of over 20 thermo nuclear weapons in the upper atmosphere and near space region of earth in an effort to test the effects of launching an offense as well as countering an offense. Even during the Cuban Missile Crisis!

Almost unknown to the public, much of the information on theses tests has been kept secret for over 35 years until recently, when newly declassified test footage and secret government documents obtained from both countries reveals everything from the ICBM to outer space testing to ABM.

I forgot the power/distance equation because I AM NOT AT WORK now. It is in 3dB drops at a certain frequency using the attenuation coeff. and attenuation coeff. of the atmosphere. Also the density of the atmosphere is an exponential function from top down. And only certain bands of RF can pass through the atmosphere without exciting H2O, O2, N2, etc. with any use.

If anyone wants to write the equation out, go for it.

What happens at work stays at work.

Unless they could figure out how to lift Bravo up that high. Whereas the Iranians are still trying to figure out how to make their own Little Boy.
