@whatisnuclear What do you do for the jump drives?

[Chris Morrison @SapienSpace]

Good news for humans on the moon. I had assumed moon dust was worse. Still not good for you but comparable to occupational hazard on earth.

@CJHandmer @rookisaacman @PettitFrontier If you're an astronaut, you want both. Nuclear and Solar are like peanut butter and jelly or ketchup and mustard. To be enjoyed as the situation calls and often at the same time.

@rookisaacman All in on @SpaceNukes

[Chris Morrison @SapienSpace]

@rookisaacman @IrateMaxwell Iran had three VVER-1000 (one operating two under construction) - only needed at max 5% enrichment. There was also a heavy water reactor which didn't even need enrichment. 60% could only mean bomb. No other explanation. #ask_a_nuclear_engineer

We have signed a strategic partnership with Ad Astra Rocket Company to advance high-power Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP) technology to
enable fast and reliable human and robotic missions to Mars and beyond. Head to https://t.co/3iGBWC49YY to read the full press release.

It was great to finally meet Chris Morrison. He's listed in the #acknowledgements in CRITICAL MASS for his expertise in nuclear energy.

Thanks Chris for attending my book signing at University Book Store, Seattle. #CriticalMass #HardScienceFiction

Plus how cool is a "hybrid radioisotope electric propulsion mission beyond the Zodiacal glow?"

[Chris Morrison @SapienSpace]

What could you do with 50-100 km/s of Delta V?

We've got a great team of scientists and engineers to answer that question for this Phase II NIAC!

@wingod @ChiaBot_9000 I thought there wasn't any carbon on the moon?

[Chris Morrison @SapienSpace]

@blal Radioisotope electric propulsion can do some really cool 😎 stuff :).

[Chris Morrison @SapienSpace]

@phalanx @Int_Machines Congrats!

[Chris Morrison @SapienSpace]

@itsDanielSuarez Looking forward to seeing you on the 22nd!

[Chris Morrison @SapienSpace]

@whatisnuclear Do you have the backstory as to why nuclear sterilizing for food preservation (especially meat where the shelf life would be greatly extended) was never adopted (except in some hospitals for immune-compromised)? Was it backlash akin to GMO labeling?

[Chris Morrison @SapienSpace]

@kmcannon Glad you're excited for it.

[Chris Morrison @SapienSpace]

@tunedloop @MeredithAngwin Don't forget that Canada is nuclear and hydro and exports a lot of its supply to New England.

Proxima Centauri C may not exist.

A new reading of the data suggests the exoplanet is the result of measurement error.

What's really interesting is how unsure we are about the bodies orbiting the CLOSEST star, let alone those thousands of lightyears away

@PeterZeihan Is there a word for a feeling that is both deep disgust and embarrassed amusement? It def isn't schadenfreude as the net feeling is disgust.

@whatisnuclear The 3D format could all be used for metastables, natural abundances, binding energy, and probably more.

[Chris Morrison @SapienSpace]

@whatisnuclear Fission yields looks like?
