Orion can get away with ridiculously low mass ratios, you only need tens of thousands of tonnes of nuclear bombs if you want to make a ship tens of thousands of tonnes heavy.
>the retarded amount of fissile material you need
Only if you're dumb enough to use Uranium as your fissile material. Bruh. TWO (!) Russian breeder reactors alone produce like 20 tonnes of Plutonium a year. You need less than 10kg to build a nuke. There are literally millions of tonnes of Uranium accessible to us right now, all of which can be turned into Plutonium.

Take the nuclear pill, anon.

Can't wait for pic-related to be launched into space.
