ramenshaman,

I’ve read several accounts where a UAP appeared near a nuclear missile silo/satellite and the nukes all simultaneously were disabled so I feel a little safer with the suspicion that the aliens will put us on time out if we rock the boat too much.

GBU_28,

I would like to read those reports

ramenshaman,

There’s a couple in this book I just finished, “UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record” by Leslie Kean. I read about the satellite occurrence a while ago, I forget where I read it. In the book there’s a couple occurrences at nuclear missile silos.

DannyBoy,

Better keep them on Earth then where they haven’t caused any problems.

Nuclear weapons, perhaps. But I still hold out hope that someday nuclear pulse propulsion will find some application. It's far enough out that current-day treaties probably won't impact it, but there's some chicken-and-egg issues - nobody will spend time working on it while treaties forbid it, and treaties won't be updated to allow it if nobody's done any work on it.

NocturnalMorning,

Can’t complain about what you don’t know about. Pretty sure people are working on regardless of any treaties that have been signed.

SkybreakerEngineer,

Nuclear pulse propulsion has no real benefit over continuous thrust designs like NERVA once you get outside of atmosphere. And having a reactor makes it really easy to use it for electrical power too

Nuclear weapons in space are bad news for the entire planet

wahming,

Weapons in space are bad news for the entire planet. Nuclear weapons don’t really add anything to that, the consequences are pretty much identical.
