Trump orders mini nukes

RE: Trump orders mini nukes
As the poem goes, with enough patience and lube the elephant deflowered the fly. How much lube would it take to give the WLB a nuclear enema? And then, launch him out of the earth's orbit and detonate it? Asshole flambé!

The thing is there is a video of Michio Kaku on youtube talking about Project Orion - spaceship that would be propelled by nuclear explosions which would propel them to speeds that 1ly could be traveled in 10 years - and at the end he says that the deal-breaker is that in order to have Orion spacecraft we would need to create mini nukes and that would be too dangerous world to live in, since terrorists could easily smuggle them into cities and detonate them.

So now that Trump is mini nuking does that mean we'll be flying to nearby stars?!

The Orion nuclear impulse spacecraft envisioned for interstellar colonization was actually the largest Orion craft that was considered. The construction time was estimated to be ~4 centuries (subsequent vessels would have been possible faster) and the craft would have been assembled entirely in space as it was too large to launch from the earth's surface. The propulsion modules were large, not mini, too, in the range of 25 MT. And there would have been quite a few of them, thousands. The idea behind the craft was to deliver a viable human colony to Alpha Centauri, around 50,000 people, and enough supplies to enable them to establish themselves. I don't remember the specifics, but the craft would have massed millions of tons at launch. In the nearly 6 decades since, some improvements on the design have been proposed. Among other ideas, a segmental pusher plate, 'trimmed' during flight to match the mass of the remainder of the vehicle as the impulse modules were used up, a DU pusher plate that would 'breed' reactor fuel to be used upon arrival at the target star, scaled yield propulsion modules tailored to the changing mass of the vehicle, and of course, all those subsequent decades of materials science advances.

LOL,


the pretty much unstated idea that after arrival at Alpha Centauri and the success of the colony, they would be able to refurbish their craft, and launch it on to a subsequent target and so on . . .

The mindworms would get to them first. Their only hope would be to Ascend to Transcendence.

I met a gal at Purdue who claimed she'd actually met Hagen Daz.

Not only his hands. He's compensating for something, clearly.

Well, Trump wants them. So basically immediately.

Yeah, that's the joke, given Trump's comments last year about "you know what they say about guys with large hands ..."
