From returning to the Moon to establishing outposts on Mars, NASA has the need for more power than ever before. Could nuclear fission be the solution they’ve …
SUPER SMART PEOPLE! THE WORLD IS BLESSED TO HAVE THEM! GREAT FOR US ALL! THOSE ANOMOLIES PINCHING TIME AND SPACE COULD EVEN BE A FUTURE US COMING BACK TO HELP PROPEL HUMAN SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS!
NASA have been sat on their ass for 50 years filming fake videos of astronauts on hoists which has been proven so take what you hear with a pinch of salt please
Brilliant design, made small, lightweight and with very low neutron flux, like none before it. This is made possible mainly by the use of *weapons grade uranium*, enough of it to make a weapon. The main risk then of a launch failure into the ocean is not that the little 10kw core might start, who cares if it starts. The risk is instead that the core is captured by some rogue actor and recreates Hiroshima. Why some engineer would skip this issue in discussion against catchy music is something out of Strangelove.
As this thing is nuclear, I do not see a redundant system of cooling should the umbrella mechanism fails in its operations. More moving parts increases its chance of failure and maintenance on the long run, the wide surface area creates a large enough surface that should any space debris hits, it will be knocked off balance. Just like the umbrella in a wind storm.
They cant forget about how us humans are going to be effected by all the radiation and no gravity effect and the health like dont forget about that NASA
What's next, antimatter?(●__●)
"nookyoolar??"
Even pronouncing Nuclear right is a challenge!
When a NASA guy says "nucular" instead of nuclear, you know this whole race is doomed to be idiots who only think of nukes.
nu-clear, not nuk-ku-lar you dumbass
60 year ago… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NERVA I don't really count this as a major step since NERVA was WORKING
In Musk we trust 🙂
Maybe I can power my Tesla with this ?
Is a faking locomotor angine
the research center should be conducted in deep space
all the way
you'll NASA KNOW U WILL never come back
and you all know that
now that's why you don't have a research center on the moon because nobody's coming back
))
All I see is you guys using reactions to take them away to create energy a very stupid way if you think about it
You guys are stuck on the old basic thermodynamics the transfer of energy
Someone needs to come in there and shake you guys up with some new stuff new thinking
It's the inefficient conversion factor
that step has to be removed eliminated or adjusted
Where am I to find a schematic of this engine, this fission machine with applicable electronics…ty someone Smart.
This piece was written in 2019? Because it's NOT new magic or something!. The U.S. has used reactors in space since 1965.
Is dangerous liquid you are Caurfull
Nuke clear ??
we need more nuke energy. moon has more power than earth oil. moon hotel needs building. need space colonizing.

Whenever I hear someone say 'nukelar' it drives me nuts and can't take that person seriously. What kind of engineer is this guy!? It's NU-CLE-AR!!!
Have they figured how to keep dangerous particles low? If not I'd rather not be vaporized in the middle of space exploration
Lol foretold they needed more energy but at the risk of explosion…….
Not powered by solar cells, windmills and algae? Blasphemy. 😀

FART: FUSION ACCELERATED REACTION TRANSPORTATION ?

this looks so cool just to have
Nuclear batteries runs for a century!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0Zh5pS87UA
NASA you had your chance you suck??
So what are somethings you shouldn’t do to a nuclear reactor? ?
So how can I build one of those in my backyard, if I may ask? 😛

Complete hoowie. They have electromagnetic super conducting generators.no nuclear material at all.so why they try to feed this shit to the public.lies
what about fusion reactors, because fusion is closer then we think
Nuclear energie is new age for ships space
all of these pseudo-intellects complaining on how scientists pronounce nooclir. who gives a crap. look farther you dolts.
Another progress has been made. Im proud.
We don't want things orbiting for 3000 years around our planet, now go clean the mess up you made it clean it up.
