    The Russians will put Nuclear reactors into anything. The Nuclear lighthouses are a great example. #nuclearrocket

    But who are the Russians going to steal technology from this time?
    I remember when they declassified some documents which found that they stole design secrets from Avro in Canada of the Arrow, to build their own jet. Now if you look at how their fighters are designed and the Arrow, you see a striking resemblance. Both the Russians & Chinese steal technology to get ahead. Communists dictatorships have proven ultimately incapable of supporting long term technological programs. The only way the Chinese will get into space is if the West keeps supporting their brutal regime. Why are we in bed with the Chinese when India is a free nation whose goals are far more akin to ours?

    @enigmaideas:
    Because if you’d bother to actually think about things instead of being led around by your nose like a little puppy you’d realize that people have been stealing technology since the beginning of time. What? No way?!

    If you want to call Chinese thieves they can also say the same about the West. Marco Polo was the biggest thief on the planet taking with him, the compass, pizza, spaghetti, gun powder, etc. So stop with the holier than thou attitude.

    It’s actually fairly moronic NOT to steal technology. MSFT does it ALL THE TIME!

    India is tuck in the last century. They are incapable of moving into the 21st century due to bureaucracy. Kind of reminds me of us in Washington. That’s also why China will surpass us because they can get things done while we’re still debating about it. #nuclearrocket

    you think kids are stupid now days? Have you seen what it takes to get into a state college now days? Don't let media warp you brain, our society is the smartest most efficient society by a long shot. Kids just seem lazy because they can do as much office work in 30 minutes as the old timers can in 8 hours.

    I'm actually pretty enthused about this, and the ion drive concept as well. Good progress.

    You'd think that America strived to dumb down everything we do.

    You think kids today are stupid? It's bad enough kids today can't spell, have no concept of grammar and can't do math in their head. Just wait until your grandkids are teenagers.

    I weep for our future.

    Right now, kids can't wait to get out of school so they can go home and hop on their XBoxes. They spent all day in school texting to each other and using their iPhones to BS on MySpace instead of learning. Why does a 14 year old need a cell phone anyway?

    We need to inspire the next generation. The government should be pumping money into schools and programs that will stimulate and excite kids into learning about science and technology.

    We've somehow trained our youth that they're entitled to some kind of handout, and that they don't have to work. They think that they can score some laid back easy job straight out of school and make $120,000 just for showing up.

    It's not about making money, it's about benefiting mankind. The government should be looking at how to lower the cost of living so that we don't need $120,000 just to keep our heads above water.

    America needs to get smarter, not richer.

    @esteorivepot: Bingo. But there is certainly an anti-intellectual sentiment in society today that sees research, which advances our species as a whole, as wasteful spending. America needs more science minded individuals and less MBAs running around. With the advances in the fields of science and tech, we usually see some pretty awesome consumer products trickle down our way so really, why aren't we pushing this field more?

    Arpanet was certainly a waste of money. Couldn't those eggheads have better spent their time fighting communism on the stock exchange floor with two rails of coke fueling them? #nuclearrocket

    As an unattractive as the idea may seem, to send nuclear material to space, so far I think this makes the most sense. It would currently be the most efficient, and longest lasting fuel we have. #nuclearrocket

    I do love the ludicrousness of it. "We're going to spend a trillion dollars on whatever we can find to stimulate the economy! Oh, and we're cutting NASA's long term plans because we can't afford it."

    I just don't see how one can make the claim, with a straight face, that NASA is too expensive while sacrificing innocent piles of money to Keynes and the economy gods. #nuclearrocket

    Pffsh. A nuclear rocket to go to the moon? Russia apparently missed the memo. Bombing celestial bodies is the new space race.

    If they were smart, they'd save the money on life support and supplies and just let that sucker crash into Mars. Then the Russian ladies will be all up on their nerdvskis.

    @SigmundTheSeaMonster: it wasn't sci-fi. there was an actual classified project (US DoD) that even included small scale proof-of-concept testing. they theorized that with this method of technology they could propel HUNDREDS of people (and accompanying cargo) into space. the nuclear fallout from earth liftoff, however, proved to be too dangerous to the people on this planet. also, landing back on earth hadn't really been hashed out, which, ya know, is a problem.
