spacefire - 4/5/2006 1:31 PMwhat bugs me is that we can use nuclear energy safely without contamination and yet we're not putting it to use to launch rockets and drive spaceships because of what 'might' happen if a launch fails.like it could be worse than all the discarded stages of Russian rockets filled with toxic waste that keep falling over Kazakstan.With nuclear rocket engines we could lift a super-redundant reusable SSTO and do away with expendable launchers forever.
