Remember also this was prior to the Starfish prime tests. Yeah if the No Nukes In Space treaty didn't come along, they probably would have went, "Let's green light this project." And we would be at Mars already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least try to make it as close as possible ISV titanic and its an cruise ship and yes its awesome. ++end game as it require an K1++ civilization at the launcher end. Power is to cheap to bother to measure, but if you use mote than an GWh as an consumer Yes this make the plot an joke but movie had catgirls in fur bikinis who makes it an 6++ in my book.
