"The unusual microbes consume ammonia, producing hydrazine-better
known as rocket fuel-in the process. The ability still puzzles
scientists."

Most interesting notion of crapolla--hydrazine rocket fuel.

Using H2O2 along with just about anything, uncluding "Hydrazine" is
also doable. Tossing in a good dosage of LRn might actually become a
little nuclear limit pushing but, certainly adding such a highly
reactive element as Rn--ions--lead couldn't hurt.

Jeez
Once I get my bio engineered nuclear plasma drive working, you guys wont see
me for dust!

the little bugs convert poo to hydrazine, which is stored
they are also engineered to metabolise heavy elements (Pu) - gedddit peeuuu
they are polar so susceptible to electrical fields
they are engineered to sense neutron flux, so that they swim around enough
to keep the material and geometric buckling critical
the hydrazine is ignited causing shock fronts which in turn sends the bugs
critical
the polar charge on the bugs effects a van der waals screening for inertial
confinement
fusion is had via magneto acoustic inertial confinement of hydrazine by
product

remnant charge enables the use of plasma afterburners

lightspeed from poo, fancy that?

If that works, NASA should be able to entirely eliminate future fuel costs
by simply shoving a printout of Guth's posts into the fuel tank.

Why NASA has not already gotten us to Mars on their bull**** promises
is the exception that proves the rule..

How big a check have you personally written to NASA to go to Mars? At this
point, it's pretty much *only* about money, and NASA doesn't control that.
Furthermore, why must NASA do it? Why not encourage the Europeans or even
Chinese? Why not assist Zubrin with fundraising?

In short, *what are you doing to help*?
