The US tested a nuke in space, dubbed Starfish Prime

It took out 3 satellites initially (there were very few at the time)

> In the months that followed, these man-made radiation belts eventually caused six or more satellites to fail

unintentionally, with 1 nuke from the 60s

Today, with modern nukes, if one was intentional, they could disrupt or destroy the space ecosystem
