Thanks a lot guys. I thought that Helium-3 was more viable as a long distance propulsion fuel but with those numbers it doesn't sound like it. The...
Hey there. I'm trying to get a good idea of said mass to fuel ratio. Is the energy that can be extracted from Helium-3 in a nuclear reactor much...
Is there an equalivent to the "User CP"? That shows the threads that I replied in and whether they have a new reply? If it is not there, then this...
