There are some potentially valid criticism about the Nuclear Salt Water Rocket (NSWR). The criticisms highlight real physical constraints. A hydrogenous mixture will moderate neutrons, preventing a fast-spectrum detonation and likely limiting the reaction to a thermal fizz. However, Zubrin's NSWR isn't necessarily aiming for a weapons-grade explosion but rather a controlled, continuous supercritical reaction. ... Read more

Nuclear pulse propulsion is a technology that would work. It was being developed in the 1960s but it was stopped because of the nuclear test ban treaty and concerns over fallout inside the magnetosphere of the earth. The reasons not to use Project Orion or to not massively rely on nuclear power fade away on ... Read more

There is possibility that the world will double the amount of natural has energy is used over the next 15 years to power AI data centers. 704 GW of natural gas and an increase of 6170 TWh/year. In future decades there can be increase of 10X or 100X more energy for AI. If this energy ... Read more

The share of eggs in the CPI represents the proportion of total consumer spending attributed to eggs, expressed as a percentage. This weight is small because eggs are just one of many items in the basket, which includes thousands of goods and services. Based on typical BLS data and estimates derived from consumption patterns, the ... Read more

If we achieve advanced nuclear, antimatter propulsion or other advance propulsion it would be possible to achieve near constant acceleration. This would enable travel times to Mars in the 3-8 day range depending upon where Mars was in its orbit relative to Earth. This would be with constant 0.33G acceleration and deceleration. What exactly is ... Read more
