How Does an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Work?

An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is a guided ballistic missile with a minimum range of 5,500 kilometres (3,400 mi) primarily designed for nuclear weapons delivery (delivering one or more thermonuclear warheads). Similarly, conventional, chemical, and biological weapons can also be delivered with varying effectiveness, but have never been deployed on ICBMs.
ICBMs are differentiated by having greater range and speed than other ballistic missiles: intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs), medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs), short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) and tactical ballistic missiles (TBMs). Short and medium-range ballistic missiles are known collectively as theatre ballistic missiles.

[@JA37Viggen]

All Nuclear weapons are meant for deterrent purpuses. The idea of MAD or Mutually Assured Destruction. The idea of the LGM-118 Peacekeeper, along with all other nuclear weapons, was to instill the amount of fear in an enemy that they would suffer worse than their enemy, so they wouldn't use nuclear weapons in the first place, thereby keeping the peace, hence the name, Peacekeeper

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation.

Roughly 90% of the entire mass.

Why is it necessary for the missile to enter space first, and then towards its target?

[@danuwinartha]

The answer is in video

[@jesperlykkeberg7438]

@@danuwinartha No it is not answered in the video. The reason: There is nothing "ballistic" about a missile that enters space and needs to re-entry.

[@erobertt3]

@@jesperlykkeberg7438 The reason is mentioned, but maybe not explained, the missile travels at its fastest speed in space because of no air resistance, so it's done to increase the range of the missile.

From California. 13 minutes, 30 megatons of America. Each.
