Default Impressed by JIMO


Although they're considering a controversial fission reactor to power it,
I'm very impressed by the design of the propulsion system for the JIMO
mission. It's a Xenon ion drive, like DS-1, except with ten times the
thrust. This is the kind of work that NASA should be doing!
