    Are you sceptical about the part where Russia can put a satellite into orbit or the part where they can make a nuclear bomb?

      The part where they can put a a nuclear bomb on a satellite. Or that it would work even if they somehow pulled it off

        We’re replying to a comment that states the US pulled it off 60 years ago

          No read that again buddy. We blew up a nuke in space. We didn’t send it on a rocket attached to a satellite

            Do you know of some special secret law of thermodynamics that prevents us from putting a nuclear bomb in orbit?

        During the Cold War, Russia launched quite a few nuclear powered satellites, and I mean real fission reactors, not just RTGs. Apparently they’re still up there and possibly still generating power. So it’s pretty much a proven fact.
