Help me blow up a space station

kerbal-space-program

I'd like to create a scenario where there is space station debris scattered in an area within a 0.5km radius for at least an in-game hour or so. The space station is has one center structural part, and this is the part I'd like to blow up. How can I make it explode?

If you would like to do it without mods, you can use the Whack A Kerbal in the debug menu. Open the Debug Menu by pressing Alt+F12. Then select the "Show Whack A Kerbal" option. Fire the object by pressing the Middle Mouse Button. I would recommend quicksaving before doing this, in case you miss the intended target.
