How nuclear propulsion works.

Atmospheric nuclear propulsion: The Russians have recently developed a nuclear-powered cruise missile called the 9M730 Burevestnik. It can basically fly around for *years* w/out refueling. It's already killed 7+ of the scientists working on it (RIP - it's sorta dirty).

Same thing different machine

Wow 😲

Truly wonderful

Brian, if you've never heard of Nasa engineer David Adair's pitholem engine, please watch:

If space is a vacuum what is the thrust pushing against, haven't gotten around to looking it up.

Thank you for sharing this. Seeing complex engineering broken down so clearly makes it feel so much more approachable. Do you think we will see nuclear propulsion used for longer space journeys in our lifetime?
