Summary
| Description |
There is a lot more about Nuclear thermal rocket on Wikipedia. I am more a fan of Project Orion a spacecraft that used Nuclear pulse propulsion - which would have beaten swords into ploughshares. It would be an excellent way to reach the outer solar system. (I really don't advocate either of these, there are much cleaner ways to acheive spaceflight ) We visited the Atomic Testing Museum wich is in the Frank H. Rogers Science and Technology Building, Las Vegas Nevada. This is the only area where photography is permitted - it is an extensive museum, primarily devoted to Nevada National Security Site (also known as Nevada Test Site). "Between 1951 and 1992, there were a total of 928 announced nuclear tests at Nevada Test Site. Of those, 828 were underground." (While this museum is affiliated with the Smithsonian - and presumably the US government, photography was permitted in only a very limited area, I would guess for security and also publicity reasons.) It seems tho me that that such a museum should be open access - but it's not. jtz 219 |
