Explain how a shockwave would work without any type of medium for it to travel through.
Gladly. We're not talking about a puff of air, here. It's a nuke. As i recall, nukes don't depend on air to wreak destruction. In fact, a nuke would be even more effective in space, since there's no wind or terrain to hinder the spread of radiation. A nuke's power is in the radiation it emits. Science tells us radiation is the transfer of energy without a medium. Vast amounts of thermal energy, gamma rays, free-floating neutrons, and of course the big-a** EMP that comes from nuclear fusion would all travel in a wave, spreading across all directions from the point of detonation.
