NTA but the reality is that hate against nuclear is, unfortunately, bipartisan. The oil and gas industry, which is heavily right wing, lobbies against it because it threatens their business and they’d rather not invest in it so it’s easier to just scare politicians into pushing oil. Left wingers meanwhile hate it because idk. They do it for free. Idiots like AOC and the german government think it’s le scary and honestly I have no clue why this is

naturally a cost plus contract to a private company, to pay them to start from the beginning on an awful vehicle filled with "legacy" hardware/software is going to be more expensive than just telling your rocket development team to do it themselves

This is a more technical explanation in the old thread >>16806812

It could still all just be quantum quackery/pseudoscience but hey lets wait and see the thing is in space right now

There's also the whole quantized inertia theory aspect of it that I just don't have the desire to get into but apparently propellantless thrust is one of its predictions using this setup so it might validate an alternative to Dark matter/dark energy if it works

Why doesn't Sol have an entire planet that looks like this? Just snow and mountains as far as the eye can see. 30+ hour rotation period so you get to enjoy the sunsets. Comfy 0.5 atm Nitrogen and CO2 atmosphere and intermediate size between Mars and Earth for less back pain and struggle while traversing the mountains. Fuck Ceres and the fagteroid belt off and give us a true snow planet to complement the desert planet and the ocean planet.
