Fragmentation Nuclear Rockets Viable for High-Speed Solar SystemExploration, and Precursor Interstellar Missions! [addendum/update to earlierpost]
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and beyond: not just for telescopes and robots,
anymore.... You wanna get there fast, with foreseeable technology? Fragmentation Nuclear Rockets Viable for High-Speed Solar System Exploration, and Precursor Interstellar Missions! [addendum/update to earlier post] The NASA fragmentation nuclear rocket site ref'd in below post no longer working, so here's Wikipedia on fragnukes: First, original post: http://groups.google.com/group/one-m...154b2?hl=en_US Wiki on fragnuke rockets: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission-fragment_rocket |

Wiki on fragnuke rockets: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission-fragment_rocket RESTART PROJECT ORION! They've wasted enough time on ancient chemical, underpowered rockets and appeasing LIBERAL PANSIES who don't like nuclear. The ONLY way they'll ever get outside of the Moon's orbit with a manned crew (and FAST, in one trip!) is with and Orion Project rocket. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project..._propulsion%29 |

That's OK: heavy lift boosters put the pieces up in orbit. |
