RE: Nuclear Powered Rocket to Mars and Physics Steemit Introduction
I can't stop myself feeling like a little kid again every time I see the words "nuclear rocket". I am OK with this :)

Not only do I like this, it's really helpful. I was trying to get a hold of this obscure book on nuclear propolusion in space in order to get some specific estimations of project orion's stats - but the NYPL can't find its copy and i wasn't going to buy it. But now this fills in the gaps excellently. Not exactly a primary source, but it'll have to do.
Thanks for the link.
Sorry, I've just spent the last few minutes perusing this site - and it's even cooler than I originally thought.
I thought so, too. It blends science, history, and science fiction so seamlessly that I had a little bit of vertigo when I stumbled upon it at work one day. The author obviously put a lot of time into gathering all of that information. I think it is all part of a board game, but I didn't figure out if the game is finished and available on the market or not.
This is the greatest - I don't see any reference to a specufic board game - it seems like the author makes reference to this being intended as a resource for game and sci fi developers and authors. I am sort of instantly and completely in love with it.
