The largest nuclear bomb in outer space exploded 64 yrs ago today.
Starfish Prime was a 1.4 megaton thermonuclear warhead, detonated at the altitude the Space Station now orbits. It created man-made radiation belts that wrecked many satellites & lasted 5+ years.
A year after the test the USA & USSR signed the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, leading to the global 1967 Outer Space Treaty.

Frazer, 18, was shown a traumatic, violent video by another pupil at school when he was in Year 8, without his consent. He's since been diagnosed with PTSD and has suffered for years with his mental health.
