A thought more comforting, perhaps, than true. The history of nuclear weapons, nuclear energy, nuclear war, and nuclear 'peace,' is riven with governments, public private partnerships, corporations, almost anything but the fringe elements suggested above. To err is human, true, but to test nuclear weapons in space 'just cuz', you need a nation state.
I remember as a kid how there'd be public service announcements about what to do in the event of a nuclear war.
We can only hope that no nation states get into a pissing contest serious enough to trigger any of this. I've generally thought that if anything were to happen it'd be more from the India Pakistan situation than anywhere else.

Makes you think twice about who is crazy.
