Newest Alabama company will develop nuclear engine for Mars spaceship
"The international nuclear technology company BWX Technologies, Inc. opened a
Huntsville office Thursday to begin developing products for the aerospace and military including a nuclear propulsion system that could send rockets to Mars." ""We're talking about something very different here," Geveden said. "We're talking about an active nuclear reactor to run hydrogen across the core and expand it out through a nozzle."" See: https://www.al.com/business/index.ss...y_will_de.html So, will this just be a rehash of NERVA? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NERVA |

I guess we might as well stay home and never bother becoming a space- fairing species then. Goodbye too all humans when the next big extinction event happens. The next big extinction is already happening faster than we'll ever get to Mars. |

The next big extinction is already happening faster than we'll ever get to Mars. Bull****. We'll almost certainly be landing people on Mars in the next 10-20 years. The chance that humans will become extinct in that same time period is quite small, but admittedly non-zero. Jeff -- All opinions posted by me on Usenet News are mine, and mine alone.

As you say we are almost certainly going to Mars soon. But that doesn't mean the next big extinction didn't start way before we will go to Mars. Alain Fournier |
