OUT OF THIS WORLD? @UltraSafeNuke is developing this 1 MW microreactor that can generate electrical & thermal power on earth and in space! It’s one of 3 designs to potentially be tested in our new DOME testbed at @INL. ➡️: bit.ly/3tDoOVY 📸: Ultra Safe Nuclear

Stanley Gunn, one of the fathers of the Rover/NERVA project for nuclear thermal propulsion, passed away last night. Linked below is a wonderful article written by Dr. Gunn on the history of nuclear propulsion. Ad astra, Stanley Gunn. wired.com/images_blogs/wired…

Amazing! @foldingathome now has over 470 petaFLOPS of compute power. To put that in perspective, that's more than 2x the peak performance of the Summit super computer!

Amazing! Over 400K people have downloaded @foldingathome in the past two weeks to help with #COVID19 research. That's about a 10x increase in volunteers. Thanks all!

I was wondering why a nuclear thermal rocket would need radiators, but then I realized that you need something to handle residual/decay heating for weeks on end, without expending propellant. Art by SMPritchard: deviantart.com/smpritchard/a…
