Tests done behind the moon would not be dependably secret either; they would be revealed by delayed gamma rays from radioactive debris spreading from behind the moon's small shelter. A test on the far side of the sun might possibly escape notice for a while, but its cost, the time it would take to get in place, and its undependability would...
