I did read it, but a nuke isn't a solid projectile Subman, it's an explosive, detonated on contact or just before contact. A better analogy would be a firecracker. |
The point being is energy transfer. There is no energy transfer into a non solid object. You simply break it apart and in continues on as normal as even refrenced by both the Astronaut and the article above and in every simulation done on a non solid asteroid.
Put your firecracker near your piece of paper and you will put a hole in it, but you won't send it flying!

I'd say that depends on the size of the firecracker more than anything else. Besides, who ever said they would only shoot ONE nuke? How about 50? 500?
