Glad to hear it, I was wondering what all our poor advanced science degree holding fellows had been doing since the Cold War. Also if you've ever seen a rocket fail, they don't explode in some 15 mile wide explosion. They explode in a neat tidy cylinder and if they are still in the initial stage of launch come down in a neat pile right on the pad.

Also if an explosion were to occur that was to compromise the fissionable material chamber it would not instantly vaporize and travel the world round. Most likely if any were to become fragmented it would fall. Uranium is hella heavy. It takes strong winds just to blow a tiny bit around and we aren't talking about a vapor like was released in chernobyl we're talking particles like sand. You don't see sand flying around in a light breeze do you? It takes a WHOOSH-tastic gust to push Uranium dust about.

That's the Doitle view:

In summary, Yay US, Go Weapons Labs, Rest of the world -> Your next...

Also as a after thought, I'm near positive nuclear detonations in space were banned by the SALT Treaty...
