    Nukes in space before..

    Okay Manjoo, I won't keep up the smackdown about your cruise missile gaffe.. I just want to add that in the 60's, a megaton-size nuclear warhead was detonated by the US at about the same altitude in the Pacific some ways from Hawaii.. Don't know about the fallout, but an EMP (ElectroMagnetic Pulse) knocked out streetlights on the islands.
