Why NASA Is Developing A NEW Nuclear Rocket!

Can't believe mars is beating earth for a rocket to itself

I love how fast everything is going!

0:15 ....MARS has revealed their latest new power rocket design?! 😆😆😅

That's the sort of thinking that opens up the solar system.

This is some of the best content on the platform. Thank you.

its so cool seeing other space agencies like isro and jaxa stepping up there presence in space seems like its only ever been the domain of a select few countries but that finally seems to be changing and i for one cant wait to see what's in store

Very cool stuff. At 66 yrs old, I hope I live to see some of this come to reality. "This IS the Space Race."

Right, because what could possibly go wrong?

Make a littler larger version while simultaneously creating AI to reach and survey the outer solar system. You could double the amount of the propulsion rate and get there quicker while not worrying about human risk.

I remember watch the Apollo missions as a kid. I hope the kids today get to finally get out there. We have to put the darkness behind us and move forward into the future.

They could use the PUFF to send cargo loads to Mars and park them in orbit or at the target site. Any trip there will require hundreds of tons of infrastructure orientated cargo. Material and equipment that will require minimal shielding.

Best space news channel,very informative and inspiring.thank you very much for such update...

5:26 Anthena = antenna.

1:14 hey I recognize that from one of the cards in Terraforming Mars

Will ISRO be the next country to have people land on the moon? I can't get over how well ISRO has progressed at space activities.

How exactly do lasers, which are just coherent photons, "inject neutrons" into the stream of Uranium? I saw another You tuber say that, so where are you guys getting this? I paused the video so I could read the stuff on the screen, and I see no mention of "lasers". It says that there is a massive current at 2 million amps at 2 million volts, caused by conduction when the bullet touches the anode target. That current passes through a Lithium outer shell of the "bullet" and magnetic forces from the massive current compress the uranium to critical mass, which generates fission, and massive heating in the chain reaction, and the heat creates fusion conditions for the Deuterium. The fusion generates more neutrons, which increase the fission reaction, which boosts the fusion, and continue in a self reinforcing chain reaction until nuclear fuel is fully consumed. The resulting plasma is contained and forced rearward by a magnetic nozzle produced by giant magnetic coils. All very plausible. However, the power requirements must be massive, so NASA needs to step up their nuclear power generating systems for spacecraft. The other thing such a system adds to safety of a Mars mission is additional abort modes.

Well it feels like the company watched 3 Body Problem and made the design

I'm genuinely captivated by the depth and brilliance of your content. It's truly remarkable, and words hardly do justice to its magnificence. However, if I may offer a humble suggestion, I believe enhancing the visual elements—graphics and effects—would complement the exceptional caliber of your work. The current visuals, while charming, might inadvertently undersell the sophistication and maturity of your content. Upgrading them could further elevate the immersive experience for your audience, aligning perfectly with the profound essence of your creations.

You do really good research.

IM2 will probably fall over as IM1 did. What it needs is retro jets 1/4 way down to stabilise the machine on landing
