**SeniorCitizen007** is making a big deal out of the 21st century having started in 2001, 17 years into the century. He’s right, of course, but he keeps hammering the point over and over.

Possible, but not _practical_ outside of a theoretical design. I apologize for this, but I cannot share the paperwork where Ulam himself even acknowledges that it’s impractical.

The main point in that paperwork is that in a vacuum, with no medium to propagate the overpressure of the blast, your detonation will give a fraction of the ‘push’ you’re looking for. Plutionium ain’t cheap, and to construct primaries for propulsion would be far more expensive than a chemical-based rocket.

Besides, once you’re out of nukes, there’s no more propulsion to get you back home.

Tripler  
Respectfully, it _is not_ a practical design.

That mention of his age increases my suspicion that he is the return of a certain poster who’s first word rhymes with “phlegm.”

I’m having a hard time finding an innocent explanation for having thousands or toddler pictures on your computer. At least one I believe.

He’s not looking for “toddlers”, he says he’s looking for “todlers”. A “tod” (from the Middle English _todde_) is a unit of measure for wool equal to 28 pounds, hence a _todler_ is a wool-seller. In medieval Scotland they would hawk their wares on street corners, and a savvy buyer could usually pick up a tod for about sixteen placks.

I had to back away from that thread out of the certainty that mentioning that the issue was academic where he was concerned would be a warnable offense.
