death tribble Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 George Logan who played Dame Hilda Brackett dies aged 78. He was part of a double act, Hinge and Brackett, who were two old ladies who played classical music. It was fun. A British thing. The guy who played Hinge died in 2002. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65667911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 I'd have to research the treaties carefully. The US hasn't flown a reactor in space (AFAIK) but the Soviets and I believe the Chinese have. At least one of those reactors has come back down, also. A power source that doesn't consume chemical fuel will always win out over conventional chemical rockets, once you get to space. (So far there isn't a workable alternative technology for lifting stuff to space.) The Dawn mission to Vesta and Ceres used an ion rocket very successfully, using xenon as the reaction mass for the rocket. A reactor would provide a much larger power supply. I didn't see what the rocket reaction mass would be, but that doesn't matter so much; the payload mass for a human-occupied ship is so large already that reaction mass is chump change compared to the life support. I still have profound reservations about radiation shielding for a manned interplanetary mission, but putting a reactor on board to halve (or better) the mission duration is a substantial step.
