The first fission reactor in space, the American SNAP-10A had an experimental ion thruster.
The Soviets launched dozens of nuclear powered satellites, but again, thrusters were only used experimentally.

So while not actually "the first nuclear powered interplanetary spacecraft" (RTGs win that) it is the first nuclear-powered rocket in space, aside from small experiments.
With only 2N thrust, it is no use below LEO, and solar power is plenty good enough for ion-drives in earthly satellites. So nuclear-powered rockets are only useful for interplanetary missions, for now.

You've answered your own question. Don't turn it on until safely in orbit.
  Usually that sort of question comes from people who don't understand that reactor fuel is barely radioactive (only the waste).

If only you could get to Mars by burning investor capital and government grants.

Step 1: Fund a reliable agent. Give him or her wads of cash to pose as a 3rd world actor.

Step 2: Buy a bunch of these. $1M gets you ten so that should be enough.

Step 3, From the middle of the ocean, program them with the coordinates of the hypersonic missle factory and inventory warehouses.

Step 4. Fire. Disappear.

Step 5. CPP says no more of that.

Crisis over.

What is the word "resolved" doing in the headline?

There will be people here and elsewhere that will point out your position is totally invalid because of your use of the word "clip" instead of "magazine."

... just so you understand.

You must be in the US :-) I would not buy a Chinese ICE car, but some of their EVs are excellent.

I assumed all American high schools had student parking.
How else are the kids going to get to school? Walking or public transport ? hahaha!

Oh yeah, those weird buses painted yellow, with the engine sticking out the front, like on a car. So the kids don't have to mix with public transport like in any other country.

Thats so condescending. And stupid. You think there are not many data centres in or near NYC?
Moving them frees up power for homes. And it is actually happening, just not enough.

The other reason, it turns out, is greenwashing. More hydro-power in NYC improves their paper renewables targets in a way that moving heavy power users does not.

and a lot cheaper to just move the data centres to northern NY State, and run fiber optics down to the city?

"The space agency said there is a one in 4,200 chance of being harmed by a piece of the probe"

Who is more foolish? The author, the proof-reader (is that still a thing?), or the Slashdot editor who copy-pasted this without question?

I think I can improve my odds by staying indoors.
BTW, 600 kg is tiny. Skylab was 90 ton.

I know. It seems like somebody comes up with a plan like this every week.

Eh? The use of plural "they" is kind of weird, since Caitlin is very much a singular woman, and identifies as such.

She has long been a political activist, focussing on tribal identity politics, a woman and a lesbian being more important than being a person or whatever the job was. So OpenAI can hardly act surprised when a scorpion bites them.

Indonesia, a country with such extreme relious ideology, the drinking age is 21.

Was the "You may well ask that, but I couldn't possibly comment." quote not a give-away?
But given the original was a set of 4-part mini-series, I would not say "simply" remade.

As for cancelling Spacey, they had no choice.
