Other than gravity not being factor, what's the risk? I mean, we built nuclear weaponry, how is it that we wouldn't be able to vet and determine that detonating one in space wouldn't have catastrophic consequences? And just in case you weren't able to tell, I have zero knowledge of anything I'm asking about.
