Did you know that at one time NASA had a program to build nuclear reactor powered rockets?. Through 1971, two dozen reactor and rocket engine tests were conducted. Nixon killed the program. A nuclear powered rocket, had it been available. would have made space travel significantly faster facilitating manned exploration.

A few SLASers with a affinity for trains (Bruce, Roger, Nate, me and maybe Bill and Quintin) are planning to take the train (Frontrunner) from SLC to Ogden for lunch (and possibly touring the railroad and other museums at the Ogden station) the afternoon of Friday 3 October.
Leaving SLC around 1 p.m. and returning around 5 p.m.
Any closet train lovers here on Utah Astronomy that would care to join in?
