How would the Politburo respond to Project A119?

In 1958 the United States Air Force considered a mission to detonate a nuclear device on the surface of the Moon. The endeavour was framed as a booster to American public morale in the wake of the Sputnik shock, as well as a field test of nuclear weaponry in a novel environment (with implications far beyond the battlefield).

Needlessly to say, they did not go ahead with this plan or you would already know about it.
