no
neither NACA nor NASA ever had direct involvement in any weapons development, nuclear or conventional.
Nuclear weapons can technically operate in space, but there are international agreements that ban the placement of nuclear weapons in outer space. Additionally, using nuclear weapons in space could have catastrophic consequences due to the lack of atmosphere to contain the fallout.
The US nuclear weapons arsenal is powerful enough to destroy the Earth multiple times over. The exact number of times would depend on the specific yield of each warhead and the total number of warheads available.
No, there are not enough nuclear weapons in existence to knock Earth off of its orbit. The force required to move a massive object like Earth would be astronomical and far beyond the capabilities of any known weapons. Earth's orbit is stable and not easily disrupted by human actions.
Idon't think so but, anythings possible. I guess....
The treaty that stopped nuclear testing in the atmosphere was the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed in 1963 by the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom. This treaty prohibited nuclear testing in the atmosphere, underwater, and in space, helping to reduce the environmental and health risks associated with nuclear weapons testing.
Japan has the technological capability to develop nuclear weapons quickly, but it has chosen not to do so due to its commitment to a non-nuclear policy.
no
because their time had come.
Originally the USSR was assisting them with reactors and was promising to supply nuclear weapons if needed, so China would not have to develop their own. However the USSR withdrew from this agreement in 1959. This caused China to begin their own nuclear weapons project, culminating in their first test in 1964. So nobody assisted China to develop nuclear weapons. They did it on their own.
India conducted its first nuclear test in 1974 to demonstrate its ability to develop nuclear weapons technology. The test, known as "Smiling Buddha," was considered a strategic move to establish India's nuclear deterrence capabilities in the region.
Manhattan Project
In WW2 I believe they were trying to.
Any answer to this question would be pure opinion, but I sincerely believe that nations should not have the freedom to develop nuclear weapons. The more nations that have them, the more likely it becomes that they will be used.
No, Canada does not possess nuclear weapons. Canada is a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and has opted not to develop or possess atomic bombs.
Governments continue to develop nuclear weapons as a deterrent against potential threats from other countries possessing such weapons. Additionally, having a nuclear arsenal can enhance a country's position in global politics and negotiations. However, some countries also justify nuclear weapons development as a means of maintaining national security and protecting their sovereignty.
Manhattan Project.
No because they will just attack us.they already have to many nuclear weapons they dont need anymore.
