Title Nukes in space: a bad idea in the 1960s – an even worse one now Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet The Conversation Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 5/04/24 Description The article highlights a UN Security Council resolution, led by the US and Japan, reaffirming the 1967 Outer Space Treaty’s ban on nuclear weapons in space. Prompted by reports of Russia developing a nuclear-capable anti-satellite weapon, it draws on my research into space and nuclear deterrence. Reflecting on the Starfish Prime nuclear tests, it emphasises the catastrophic consequences such weapons could have on modern societies.
