5000 Gs is the same fly for Quicklaunch and other Chem Guns
Quicklaunch would have and past experimental gun launch systems had the 5000G launch profile as well. My nuclear cannon just scales it up. the launch guns have gotten close to the right speed, there were no projectile problems - the issues were getting enough propulsive force. My system has no probl...

the economics would have worked for mining the solar system
$100 billion per person (7 billion people) in the asteriods. Orion could have launched for less than one dollar per kg. I have designed a nuclear cannon variant of Project Orion which could launch many thousands of tons supplies and g-hardened electronics super-cheaper cheap. Dig a deep hole - like ...

Accept Reality - Never Try
Do not hammer the steaming piles of crap. The crap just flies around and lands a few feet away. Nothing is happening with NASA, government or the entrenched technology so listen to Dwayne and do not attempt change. Trying to advocate change just shows how you have failed to accept the reality.

Dittmar is biased
http://nextbigfuture.com/2009/11/uranium-to-2020-update.html He trashes the Redbook projections but does not look at the actual uranium companies and mines and exploration. I did that simple due diligence. the First 9 months show large gains. Several delays are because of the low prices. There is a ...

General Fusion - Magnetized Target Fusion got C$13.9 million
Canadian government has funded General Fusion for C$13.9 million over 4 years. Likely private funds were raised as well. General Fusion could have nearly all the funding needed to make a full size reactor and then its net energy version based on prior cost estimates. http://nextbigfuture.com/2009/06...

tri-alpha energy funding known sources
Venrock (VC firm) first started investing in Tri Alpha, he says. The firm later reportedly convinced Goldman Sachs, Vulcan Capital, Enel Produzione, and PIZ Signal to join as backers. But neither Mr. Prouty nor Mr. Rothrock would say when the company was founded, or how much total funding it has. It...
