Not sure anyone would sign off on sending potential dirty bombs into space.

At least not anymore.... We did a successful test of a nuclear powered ramjet in the 60's with project Neptune. But I guess that was before people were afraid of dirty bombs welded into the shape of cruise missiles.

You probably know about it, but I thought I'd throw it into the mix.

tl, dr = the Air Force was planning on detonating an atom bomb on the moon because shit like that made sense in the Cold War.

Be honest, if you had a lot of nukes lying around, you wouldn't at least consider nuking the moon?

Also when you think about it, nuking the Moon is way less insane than nuking the Earth over 2000 times.

The video was inspired by an idea used in 'The Three Body Problem' series.

the tl, dr is that atom bombs could be used to make a spaceship.
