What are you drinking? Ia it legal?

If you want a serious answer, and are not winding us up, might I just say
this..

Why do people seize on the word 'Atomic' as if it were some mystical spell
that solves all ills?

Can you imagine how polluted the exhaust would be? if you are just using a
reactor to make electricity, then there is no advantage at all for close to
earth, high thrust needs anyway, and can you imagine what the world would
think to having a nuclear powered craft coming back and crashing somewhere?

Hmm, I'll have another shot of laughing gas nurse...
