The results were surprisingly bad, but the article concludes with a number of learnings, a detection system, and a radiation mitigation system that all came from the fallout of this test. It was a reckless experiment, but not without its silver linings
Yes good things came out of it, but those things weren't actually foresighted. You can't make me believe we have to blow bombs in space to measure weather, detect radiation or mitigate it.
They never ever actually had to proper equipment to even measure any results.. It was by luck we got to notice the changes in earths magnetic field.
