Why not launch an immense amount of nuclear heads in a far planet like Venus or Mercury, just for fun?

The risk of a failed launch and having a nuclear warhead falling on an unintended target isn’t negligible, and sending a heavy payload outside of the Earth gravitational pull is quite expensive.

Same reason why we don’t send our nuclear waste into space or the sun.

And damaging another planet in our solar system use of little scientific value compared to leaving it as-is.
