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.

Is the mechanism by which fission reactions will drive fusion reactions similar to the process that some people feared might ignite the atmosphere during the Trinity test in July 1945? The atmospheric ignition idea was based on a chain reaction of two nitrogen-14 nuclei and a hydrogen nucleus fusing over and over again. The Trinity device was nowhere near powerful enough to trigger this, but is it the basis of the engine that was described in the video? Thank you.

Good report, love the latest concept nuke pulsed engine, good for faster travel to Mars and beyond, which is good for crew's protection/health, both of body and mind!! Call it the son or daughter or whatever of the old Orion nuclear bomb concept of the 1960's. ;D So, Intuitive Machines lander #1 failed mainly cuz it tipped over, upon touch down, maybe due to a too high center of gravity cuz it was/is "tall and skinny", as you mentioned in the description of it. Their "solution" for the next lander #2 success is a bunch of upgrades for the scientific instruments and communications aspects of the thing, but not addressing the suspected cause of the first failure, i.e. the basic "architecture" of the space craft. Good luck with that. That sounds a bit "Counter-Intuitive to me!! :D LOL Ah, yes India has great plans, we wish them well. There is room for everyone with the means in space because, as Douglas Adams said in his great sci fi book, THHGTTG, words to the effect that, "Space is big, really big! You may think it is a long way down to the chemists, but that is just peanuts compared to space!" LOL ;D

Sounds like a good concept. With a lot of money it could be made realistic in one century or so. What you failed to mention is a true fission engine. One where a near-conventional nuclear reactor is used to heat liquid hydrogen to high temperatures and pressures limited only by current materials science. The H2 is then exhausted through a standard issue vacuum nozzle. How long would it take to develop this? The US designed and built example engines in the 1960's.

now wait a second, isn't there a some issues with that design of engine mostly the pulsing, as described that would be like a monster truck with one 8-liter cylinder and no flywheel, when you hit the accelerator any humans going to feel that pulse. It would feel like accelerating then orbiting every second for 1 hour and 20 minutes they'll be sick. Of course there's ways around that problem, like firing off so fast it wouldn't be notably, or splitting the work among 3 or 4 barrels like a Gatling gun, both adding their share of complexity and problems. But this is not something you want to get wrong, we know what happens when two isotopes collide at high speed. I'm not trying to be negative, but I wouldn't expect to see a working probe for another 5 to10 years.

I am glad that other people are finding out about the old project Orion. It seemed really promising but was shelved by the Kennidy administration because he was worried that putting bombs in space would escalate the problems with the USSR. The developers of this project paired with the military in an effort to get president Kennidy to green light it. Saying that it could be used as a weapon and even use it's own blast shield to defend itself from hostile fire. Which ironically led to it's downfall. Looks like SpaceX showing them up got NASA to finally dust-off this project. I just hope that they don't give it to break everything Boeing. This system has so much power that the developers joked about installing those old heavy barber chairs in it. Because it has so much lift. The biggest concern about this project was the amount of radiation that would be coming off of the rocket in Earth's atmosphere was dangerous. However, it would make a great rocket in space. So long as we deliver it by other means. This is great news. You made my day!
