Within the last 2 years 3 of Kansas City's suburbs which are in Kansas have had a Choice to the Dominant telecom provider in our area, SBC. The Name of This Company Is Everest, It provides 3 different services; Internet, Phone and Cable. The Tier I have costs $102 a month tax included. The package includes rental of cable modem capped at 256k with unlimited download,unlimited # of computers connected to cable modem. Basic Phone with Caller ID,Call waiting and Three way calling, Long Distance at 10 cents a minute. The Cable Tier is as follows Basic, Digital with One decoder and 1 premium channel package (I got HBO)no limit on # of Hookups with use of Signal Amps. This Company had plans to wire the entire metro until Enron killed the Power Tradeing Sector. The Parent Co, Aquila has had to scale back its investment and Everest just annouced Layoffs. This Service is Great and I hope It Grows. If You live In Overland Park,Shawnee or Lenexa I urge you to sign up.
I don't think they were talking about reactors.This link (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2 684329.stm) talks about Project ORION, which uses Nuclear Pulse as propulsion method. Hence the Bush Administrations intrest. There is a very intresting book describing this project (http://www.space.com/spacelibrary/books/library_p rojectorion_020709.html) I found it a great read.

So what we talking about, A NERVA type system or something along the line of TOPAZ. What about a scaled up verison of DEEP SPACE 1's ION drive?
