KSP: Nuclear-Powered Jetliner to EVE! 

But you could not turn Hulk. Oh well.

So you work for the CIA now?

hmm, weird. mine just sparked a lot and now all the grass in the back garden seems to have grown a lot

Try plutonium instead.

@@ln5321 someone gets it

He said JET engines Still funny though

the nerv-a engine is not an atomic engine as it uses oxidizer. closed bell and open cycle engines heat liquid gas or just plain but volatile liquids like alcohol and kerosene to accelerate thus there are very efficient. Also you can build SSTO with ramjets and open cycle engines as they both only use liquid fuel, so you do not have to balance the craft out midflight. ideally, you can also use thermonuclear jetengines, as shown here to take your SSTO on a suboribtal trajectory without using any d/V and then fire up a thermal nozzle which uses the wasteheat of your thermonuclear jet engines as a propellant to go into orbit with practically no fuel at all. Once in space, if you have a reactor on board that produces alot of waste heat you can go anywhere you like without using any fuel although the burn times might take a couple of years. So yeah nuclear propulsion is awesome. In the interstellar extended the nerv-a engine gets replaced with a real open cycle engine and you even get fuel tanks which only hold one kind of propellant thus saving alot of weight, since you don't need to have to have two tanks built into one cylinder. with only one long tank and the new nerv-a engine you can get up to 45000 d/V in a vacuum.

@@juleswoodbury58 I mean yeah but the description of it literally calls it the "LV-N 'Nerv' Atomic Rocket Motor"

Jules Woodbury in fact the Nerv engine does not actually use oxidizer in practice! It is modeled after the real-world theoretical nuclear thermal rocket, which uses a fission reactor to heat its propellant and force it out of the rocket nozzle to generate thrust (as opposed to a normal rocket, which ignites the propellant and uses the energy released by the resulting chemical reaction for that purpose).

Hahahahahaahahah he said "we don't have nuclear JET engines in the game"

Well, don't have a melt down over it.

So could he now read your mind or get super hearing or did you?

the question may not be asked.

He got it because of nuclear radiation

Imagine nuclear cars in the Middle East. The region becomes a wasteland.

nuclear reactors are physically incapable of exploding, they do not contain the right ingredients nor the right environment. Yes if the reactor was breached it could melt down and leak molten uranium fuel and radioactive vapors but it could not explode.

Yup. It's a very complicated thing to produce a nuclear explosion, it's a secret art only mastered by the real peoples who truly embraced Cold War with the joy of overwhelming destructive power. It's all about compressing the fissile material as quickly as possible, because the nuclear reaction tends to expend its own fuel at a tremendously high speed, thus stopping the reaction. A damaged nuclear reactor tends to overrun, makes it coolant boil, its containment vessel explode due to over-pressure, then everything melts, then cool down. Once cooled down, the reaction may resume, only to stop again once the material expended again enough, but it never happened because the fissile core is so mixed with foreign material from the rest of the reactor it loose its criticality in the process of destroying itself. A nuclear meltdown is, in fact, a mostly fail-safe process if the core is kept contained in a strong enough building (TMI is a good example of a "safe" severe nuclear incident). So, no megaton boom with reactors.

It would just contaminate everything and give everyone cancer, rather than become an actual nuclear warhead capable of kiloton blasts.

You are correct good sir the chance of a nuclear reactor exploding like the bomb would be so small......

A train is potentially more vulnerable to regular old theft or otherwise damage though. A plane flies from A to B during flight only malfunctions or hijackings can force it to deviate normally, any airports they're likely to visit are likely under 24/7 surveillance, so are probably likely train stations where the train will stop. The thing is, a train runs through random forests where there's no way surveillance can be financed. A potential terror group only needs to shortcircuit the tracks behind a signal to make it show red, and the train comes to a neat halt, where they can steal the nuclear material at gun point. And what if the signals malfunction and the nuclear train runs full speed right into another train, a nuclear disaster waiting to happen. The train can also malfunction in the middle of nowhere, then you're stuck and reaching the train with support vehicles may be time critical regardless of if these vehicles can run on rail or you must hurriedly build a road into the middle of nowhere.

Holy sh*t why are you here Klaus?

Me it went really well & his reactor got to meltdown!

Also known as you really got to rethink your distance measurements. You need a really powerful rocket.

Takes about 9.8km/s delta V to reach 7.8km/s LEO. Takes about 4.6km/s to go from the surface of Kerbin to Mun landing and return. So less than half of what is needed for LEO. Get something like FASA to provide you with real rocket parts i.e. bigger tanks and higher thrust engines.

My first orbital craft was a ssto that went to the mun and back.

@@psun256 That isn't so hard in default KSP. We are talking RSS. Now that would be a challenge though, an RSS ssto that could do a lunar fly-by. I don't think there is a spaceplane fuselage that could survive re-entry without turning off heat or modifying the part files.

Brietr it’s more you fucking Neanderthal

I see what you did there ;)

Living on earth almost makes you with for a billion dollars

JKerman511 the US also developed a spacecraft that was not just nuclear powered, it was powered by actual Nuclear Bombs. Project Orion is the name of it and Roverdude made a great stockalike version of it in KSP (Video by Curious Droid on the history of the Orion Project: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7dUYfDg3G2A.html, And a Orbiter 2010 mars mission simulation: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DSK_mymJvkM.html )

They also proposed an unshielded nuclear missile designed to fly at supersonic speeds for weeks. The idea was to fly very low in enemy (Russian) territory doing heavy damage to buildings just with the Sonic blasts and spread heavy radiation all over the place. Horrible times.

Here is the link on the missile I mentioned. It was project slam. I forgot that it also carried a payload of bombs as well. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_Low_Altitude_Missile

Yeah, and the NERV in KSP is based on the NERVA engine that was developed under the Project Rover program. It got close to being flight rated too. There were a bunch of tests. And then Project Pluto I believe tested air-breathing nuclear engines. As for Orion, it got close to being built too I think. People in the higher ups stopped it, but a lot of people across the board liked the idea (Air force, NASA, etc).

+Anthony Pelchat O yeah! SLAM: The Flying Crowbar. And you think modern day Military-Industrial Complex is bad. Nowadays they are mostly wasting tax dollars and being horribly inefficient, in the 50s, 60s they where trying to murder the entire world in a test flight!

@@niteshmurti your reply is not necessary*

Kai Bowman Was going to say the same thing; the Tu-95 is just a turboprop bomber that’s still in service.

TheDJ, calling the Tu-95 "just a turboprop" is borderline insulting to... well... all of humanity. :-) It is a rather amazing piece of kit. It's not the best or perfect, but still... "just a turboprop"... ;-)

@@TheCyberCrewLD It's a tad noisy, to say the least.

You just have to get used to it taking 5 minutes to get into orbit and burning past apogee on the second stage.

chris kerwin Well, my fastest rocket to get to orbit took 6 min and the worst is not that , is that if you have over 200 mods it tooks loads of time to load and most of my rocket get to orbit before passing apogee

What kind of TWR are you using on the first and second stage? If the first stage is like 1.3 and the second is sub 1 or even sub .5 you have to burn for a long time. A solid state drive helps a lot with the load times.

Try the Saturn V. Massive hydrogen stages with very low starting TWR. It is a slow ride to orbit.

I play RSSA with stock parts and my 22 ton rocket can make it to orbit, its not that hard
