Why not launch an immense amount of nuclear heads in a far planet like Venus or Mercury, just for fun? (self.showerthoughts)

We thought about it, but then we signed a treaty or two that cancelled the project.

Personal opinion though: It would be an absurdly expensive way to taint future study of any place we nuke, especially if we want any hope to find any type of life on another planet.

I really hope we find something on Europa or Titan. Both have water and heat, so maybe they’ve got something next to a seafloor vent or something.
