Default The bomb fairy.


If you have a string of bombs spaced a second apart on a trajectory,
is there a reason that you can't simply ride the stream with an orion, and
constantly accellerate to 0.1C at ~1G?
I assume medusa wouldn't work quite so well, due to problems with
detonations in the millions.

This almost certainly requires fission-free bombs.

How hard can an (uncrewed) orion sustain accelleration?
