I would never land the Orion. There is no point. I mean one could make the argument to repair it but if its already in space then chances are you are screwed. Orion is too delicate to be taking chances at landing, if the plate becomes damaged you better hope you can get people from earth to come repair it, as long as you are in earth orbit. (I use chances a lot cos nothing ever goes 100% perfect, as history shows.) Orion has the amount of power needed to carry along backup escape rocket vessels and it can carry a large 'Apollo style luna lander' for landing on mars. The only thing the Orion would do in my book is act like the ferry, that's all. This is why I really want this mod. And besides. I wouldnt to irradiate the landing site. Don't care if the pulse units have low radioactive fallout (mainly being airburst) figures I just wouldn't do it. Please fix this mod if you have time. Also computers nowadays would make the Orion much easier to work with being able to calculate ejection safe distances and wireless activation of the bombs. One may think.

Maybe people know things differently to me compared to 10 years ago. What is the theoretical fastest from mars and back? One of the best engines that Nasa had was Vasimr and thing I did not like. By the time you got to mars and landed there is a huge chance it would take too long to get back. Thus most of the ideas I have seen just plan to stay on mars for 4 years. Which sounds very impractical. Some have even said that once their spacecraft get there they cant come back.

by William-Black Well I have came up with some ideas like making certain parts being able to change about. Rather just keep the Orion part in orbit and just carry on some nuclear fuels.What I like about the Orion is that the trip is short in comparison to real life planned mars missions where you will have to stay on mars for like 4 years before coming home.

My fix for this would be as (I used another space game) to use rockets for maneuvering and fine tuning. Then you wont need other sizes of nukes. However the nukes would have to be the right amount not to overdo the crew. I really think a smaller version is possible nowadays but we will never know.

@TiktaalikDreaming We all have lives to live so it's understandable. I know a lot of people are against nuclear propulsion. (For obvious reasons) This drive could have been made smaller and easier to launch with modern day rocketry. What annoyed me with a lot the old designs is that they were too big with goals to get to planets saturn or to move a... nuclear battleship I am not one in favour of space waste and going nuclear on the orion which is fast/powerful/efficient to me is the best way.

Hello. Will this mod be fixed for KSP. Because I really want to use it. Main reason is because its realistic.
