A magnetic "nozzle" (which is actually a chamber) would not work in atmosphere because it's a quasispherical grid of conductors, to minimize its irradiated area. So, everything fusing/being fused inside would be blown away by wind before the nozzle. And that's exactly what gives to the Orion scheme its advantage. It doesn't surround the reaction zone with something heatable or destroyable. It has released the energy far behind, but then focused on its enforced reflector (the pusher plate). So, it doesn't need to care about the pressure and temperature, but can't work in atmosphere, too, just for other reasons. It its turn, the magnetic nozzle scheme is limited by its material nature, and can't produce high thrust, because high thrust provided by light particles and cores requires a lot of energy due to high energy-to-momentum ratio. This will cause significant heating of surrounding structures (the magnetic nozzle), what makes to make it a grid of flat trusses, but any grid size is limited mechanically by the strength of materials. So, non-Orion schemes are low-thrust (unless they heat some heavy-atom substance on atmospheric flight, which turns them into a low-ISP rocket). That's why there is no visible alternatives to the Orion-like design based on the known physical principles. Just the classic, mechanical Orion scheme is obsolete (though probably workable), and MiniMag Orion with Z-pinch fusion and magnetic reflector instead of the pusher plate is appropriate for high-thrust and high ISP, but also not for atmospheric flights.

2023 newspapers! "The global warming slows. The carbon dioxide emission is considered overestimated, the quotas will be revised. Poland is allowed by EU to reopen the coal mines"

I see. Without money who could bt a six-seat capsule for a billion. Still no OS, alas.

Why not? A new release is always better.

I don’t know about a fusion explosion but the ITER central solenoid apparently produces a 13 Tesla field According to https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/269410/what-is-the-relationship-between-the-magnetic-units-oersted-and-tesla As I had read in childhood, 500 kOe field slows the blood speed by two times, 2 MOe field stops it. So, >50..200 T is a lethal range.

I mean the Bigelow-style hype several years ago. ROSS is not an inhabited station plan. It's a visitable station project. Yes, NASA plans are such ones. Previously: modules for somebody else station or shuttle. And no, unlikely they will. Especially now. *** Looks like there is no reasonable project of orbital station at all anywhere. (China will probably finish its half-Mir, but mostly for XP and level up.) So, ISS has non-zero chances to become the first orbital craft with fusion powerplant.

Iirc, to the date the only expandable module is the shed of the Russian ISS segment. Looks, like in KSP the expandability works better.

Mars is just 0.107 of the Earth mass. Who needs this loser? Belt: 2.8 AU Earth: 1 AU. Mars: 1.5 AU min(Mars-Belt) = 2.8-1.5 AU = 1.3 AU, 0.107/1.32 ~= 0.063 max(Earth-Belt) = 2.8+1 AU = 3.8 AU, 1/3.82 ~= 0.069 So, the Earth affects the belteroids stronger than Mars even when Mars is at the closest distance, while the Earth is at the fartherst one.
