nuclear power on a space shuttle to seperate the oxygen from the air to fuel a craft into space?
Jonny G asked:
Ok so from my last answers I see that we need a device to combust, or we could use engines (jets) to produce the necessary thrust in order to propell the craft into space. Someone also stated that nuclear is unsafe, if this is the case then can we make it safe and light? Which do you think is better with nuclear, using it to power a craft via engine, or use it to seperate water/air for fuel to propel?
