I think you misunderstand how nuclear powered rockets would work.

>>11297175
Just use nuclear.

My problem with this thread is that I use 4chan-X and I press "F" the instant I come into any thread. Then I only read and reply to posts that have images, because this is a god damn image board. So, post some thread-related irl space images instead of frogs and anime.

Fuck off, frogposter.

>Nasa

This isn't the NASA of the 1950s anymore, anon. That ship sailed and crashed long long ago.

We can easily do nuclear space craft right now. 6LY isn't all that far when using that sort of tech.

Project Orion was nuclear propulsion, not a warhead.

>>9870926
Not true.

Good luck with that nuclear powered rocket that is banned by international treaty.

>What went wrong?

Nothing went wrong. There's just no money in space travel for the existing economy; even though what has already been done did help shape the current economy. We are just lucky that a "regular" guy struck it rich and decided to do some crazy dreams with the money.

>colonized Mars

That whole jello babies thing might be a meme, but it is also a very serious concern.

>capacitance disk data recording

RCA did that. It died out in the 80s. A 2 hours movie had 60mins per side, but degrade if you do anything with them. I assume that is one of the major reasons it was discontinued and is only an uber niche market now.

>sound powered piezoelectric wireless cell phones

Isn't that still a thing?

>wireless power

That is coming into being more and more now. You can get all manner of energy harvesting equipment from mouser and digikey. Most of it is for harvesting energy from things that always send out power for other functions than powering a device. Like being in a city and being bombarded with all the wi-fi hot spots.

Here's my list, though some are making headway now,

•Biogas methane digester power plants using city/home sewer as fuel.
•Nuclear powered rockets (pic)
•Holographic data storage. We have this, but do you think it will ever be as prolific as HDDs?
•Spinning space station modules for creating artificial gravity. NASA had one proposed, but decided not to build it (Nautilus-X).
•Manned space exploration. Well, it seems like there's a lot of talk about going to the moon again and to Mars, only no one is there yet. In fact, most of NASA shit seems to be grant chasing to line pockets more than anything else. It'll be 50 years soonish since the last manned moon mission. ISS ain't shit right now. They are making science, but the research is gathering dust. Too bad Challenger blew up.
•Neck cradles for phones. Seriously, fuck these little bars of soap people call a smartphone.
•Polaroids.

This again? Are they going to be able to get around that pesky space treaty this time?
