Space nukes: The unbelievably bad idea that's exactly that ...
unbelievable
Like the reality, the concept is blown up out of all proportion. So
who launched it this time around?
...
...
What it is good at, though, is scaring people. If you're a Putin
supporter, you might hope it distracts and dismays the warriors on the
other side. If you're American - let's say, someone trying to get a
big aid package through to Ukraine - you might hope it scares some of
the people who are trying to stop that happening. And if you're a news
outlet, you'll just appreciate the traffic that big headlines about
space nukes can bring. Where the truth lies, dear reader, is up to you
to decide. One thing's for sure - you're safe enough keeping your
smartphone out of the biscuit tin.
