And the number of nuclear weapons which have been exploded in space is...? According to the Wikipedia page 'Operation Fishbowl' (high-altitude US nuke tests in the early 60's), we've detonated 5 at high altitude, with only two of them ("Starfish Prime" and "Checkmate") actually going into what is considered 'space'.
Anything above the 'Karman line' of 62 miles up is considered 'space'. "Checkmate" was detonated at 91 miles up, and "Starfish Prime" at 250 miles.

And the number of nuclear weapons which have been exploded in space is...? At least one - Back in the summer of 1962, the U.S. blew up a hydrogen bomb in outer space, some 250 miles above the Pacific Ocean.
