FORGET FIREWORKS, THE REAL LIGHT SHOW MAY BE AMERICA’S NUCLEAR ROCKET While the world is busy counting down with champagne and drone shows, the U.S. government quietly lit something far brighter. The Department of Energy and NASA made it official. Nuclear Thermal Propulsion is no longer a science project. This is the moment chemical rockets start looking like steam engines. Nuclear Thermal Propulsion doesn’t burn fuel. It cheats physics the old-fashioned way. Liquid hydrogen gets blasted through a nuclear reactor, uranium atoms split, heat explodes outward, and the hydrogen screams out the back at absurd speeds. No combustion. No oxidizer. Just raw nuclear heat turned into thrust. The payoff is brutal and obvious. It delivers roughly double the efficiency of chemical rockets. That means fewer launches, heavier payloads, and much shorter trips. Mars stops being a nine month radiation marathon and starts looking like a three to six month sprint as the tech matures. Less time in deep space. Less exposure. More margin for humans to survive the trip. Faster travel keeps astronauts alive. Higher efficiency makes sustained missions possible. And nuclear propulsion is the only tool on the table that actually scales beyond flags and footprints. Now zoom out. SpaceX already solved the hardest problem in rocketry. Cost to orbit. Starship is the freight train. Nuclear propulsion is the engine swap that turns that train into an express. Chemical rockets get you off Earth. Nuclear engines move civilization through the solar system. Source: Office of Nuclear Energy | US Department of Energy

Alastair Crooke: The US🇺🇸 may have signalled that it will resume nuclear weapons testing because Trump misunderstood a Russian missile test as a nuclear test ‘It seems to be based on a misunderstanding. Allegedly, Trump has proposed the idea of nuclear tests in response to Russian nuclear tests. But there hasn’t been a Russian nuclear test. The Burevestnik missile, that was publicised these recent days, like the Oreshnik. But this one has a nuclear power. It has got a propulsion system that is nuclear-based. Its warhead isn’t. There isn’t a nuclear warhead on it. It is a conventional warhead, but it is just instead of having a rocket propulsion, it has a nuclear drive that propels it. And this is why it’s able to stay aloft for a very long time, and in fact traverse the whole globe. But it’s nuclear propulsion, not a nuclear weapon. Did Trump understand that? Or did he just think this was a new nuclear weapon that Russia was testing? He probably didn’t understand that it wasn’t. It was just its propulsion mechanism that is nuclear, but not its warhead. Did Trump understand that? Or did he just think this was a new nuclear weapon that Russia was testing? He probably didn’t understand that it wasn’t. It was just its propulsion mechanism that is nuclear, but not its warhead. Now, whether the Russians have been testing underground before, I doubt it…I’m sure they would have taken every opportunity to say it if they thought they had detected Russian or Chinese underground tests.’ -Alastair Crooke, the former Middle East Advisor to the EU Foreign Policy Chief, on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW BELOW IN THE REPLIES👇
