Davros - 30/12/2005 6:07 PMI'd be in favor of this drive but the risk of enviormentalists trying to bring down the program makes me concerned about potential project cancellation. Is there a solution to this, such as a different holding and launch site for the nuclear element of the propulsion?
To The Stars - 30/12/2005 6:43 PMNTR is a good option for such transits as to Mars.Looking forward to transit to the outer planets and one day to neighbouring stars, what are the future possibilities of new propulsion? even if they are still very much science fiction.
