Then your beaten outdated PWR will become a shiny IV gen molten salt reactor.

He3 production is not about mines, but rather a kind of harvester moving with the constant speed and heating top 15 to 60 cm of Lunar soil up to 600 degrees Celsius.

Just a week ago I've seen the report on talks about cooperation between VASIMR's Ad Astra Rocket Company and some branch of Rosaviacosmos developing the Russian megawatt class space-based nuclear reactor. If they succeed, it will be your next level space drive.

You're ignoring the problem bigger than nuclear waste. Geothermal power plants releasing water vapor into the atmosphere, the greenhouse gas more potent than even carbon dioxide.

This is untrue and utter nonsense. It is not about the new screw. The whole story invented to conceal the truth about the old one. By stupid mistake and criminal negligence the batch was made out of rare meteorite, and so has a mysterious properties. The fact was discovered by accident while investigating the deterioration of signal quality and cracking covers (made from a perfectly invulnerable glass). It was next to impossible to honestly tell the truth, because evil geniuses will simply buy out all the screws and put them together to create the weapon of terrifying power. So they had to invent this story about the new screwdriver, because people would rather believe in some new Apple's closed garden conspiracy not the real thing.

The leading truck has biggest mass and therefore momentum in the crowd, so its distance to stop will be massively longer.

Up to mid-60s there was some quite good domestic computers in the USSR, but almost all of the developing teams (spare some military projects) were switched to, well, copying of the three unified systems from the West, mainly because Politburo's dumbfucks were educated not enough to effectively direct and support R&D. You know, command economy has no natural feedback and very skewed competition.

Do not look down to Australia with the remaining space-based telescope.

It also adds up as the nation's powerful energy reserve for the hard times. A pound of fat equals 15 megajoules of energy, and it's right on surface, ready to be, well, drilled or something.
