Interesting article and video on what could happen if nuclear weapons were detonated in space.

Link to article and video here

What is interesting, and I did comment on this point is that if an EMP pulse takes out enemy facilities, they can also take out facilities by the country using that weapon too.

Video still makes some useful points.

This was posted to fediverse by NASA today, sounds like things are really moving in this area. What a period in history to study STEM and learn the skills to be part of this.

We’re partnering with @DARPA to demonstrate a nuclear thermal rocket engine in space. This new engine would allow us to do more science and reach destinations faster—key steps for sending the first crewed mission to Mars. read more

There are opportunities for people in the Uk to be part of this, as it will require world wide expertise to do this.
