What if the most powerful nuclear bomb exploded in space
During the Cold War, the US government launched a 1.4 megaton bomb into space. Starfish Prime, as the test was called, was the highest-altitude nuclear test in history. But what would happen if we tried the same experiment with a 50 megaton bomb, like the record-setting Tsar Bomba?

Operation Plumbbob’s “Manhole Test” (officially known as Pascal-B) was a U.S. nuclear test conducted in 1957 at the Nevada Test Site. It involved detonating a small nuclear device in a deep underground shaft capped with a steel manhole cover. The goal was to study high-energy explosive effects and containment methods. The test unintentionally launched the steel cap at an extraordinary speed, possibly exceeding Earth’s escape velocity (~11.2 km/s), making it one of the fastest manmade objects. Wh
