- I'm not sure that this is the right forum for my question, but I need to
- ask this. Has anyone else heard a news report that the U.S. is planning
- on detonating a nuclear device in space? I heard it this weekend on
- a Boston morning radio news broadcast but cannot track it down for any
- further information. What I caught was that a planned nuclear detonation
- in space was being postponed for a few months to make sure that no
- satellites are damaged in the explosion.
-
- I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who knows anything about
- this. Also, if you have the names of government agencies I could contact
- to confirm this, that would also be appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
- Carole
