Do you think there is any chance we can see futher research on nuclear propultion this century?
>>16792062There are a couple of NTP projects going on right now. There isn't much interest in space flight or nuclear power though so you'll never see anything
>>16792062Yes, it is contemporarily happening in fact, Research.
>>16792062Realistically speaking, will it ever be safe enough to routinely use? Ofc there's plenty of simple safeguards that can be implemented. But how much do you trust them in the face of catastrophic rocket failure?
>>16792062>futher researchDefinitely yeah.>massive breakthroughsDefinitely nah.
>>16792062I tripped super hard once and dreamt I was on a spaceship like this that was decked out like the Titanic or something and we got some comms that there was a global thermonuclear war that wiped out the planet, and that we were doomed to die floating out in space with zero chance of return. It was a very depressing dream that fucked with me a lot for some time.
>>16792062Nuclear-thermal yes.Nuclear-pulse no.
