Operation Fishbowl: Hitting The Firmament With High Altitude Weapons But Calling it The Ionosphere

Though NASA claims that during Operation Fishbowl, they hit The Ionosphere with nuclear weapons, and therefore, could not penetrate through, they also claim that they sent tiny little frail rockets through the Ionosphere with men inside without any problem. The two stories contradict each other, obviously.

 Operation Fishbowl:

       Operation Fishbowl was a series of high-altitude nuclear tests in 1962 that were carried out by the United States as a part of the larger Operation Dominic nuclear test program.

       The Operation Fishbowl nuclear tests were originally planned to be completed during the first half of 1962 with three tests named Bluegill, Starfish and Urraca.

Earth is a realm. It is a closed system covered by a solid dome called the Firmament:

       The first test attempt was delayed until June. Planning for Operation Fishbowl, as well as many other nuclear tests in the region, was begun rapidly in response to the sudden Soviet announcement on 30 August 1961 that they were ending a three-year moratorium on nuclear testing. The rapid planning of very complex operations necessitated many changes as the project progressed.
