Yeah all nice and well but you still have the isst of moondust to deal with

If it fails to reach orbit for any reason then it will most certainly intersect with at least one planet.

You sent me into an aluminum smelting rabbit hole — I had no idea one of the byproducts was oxygen. Super cool.

Or- get this- stop funneling taxpayer dollars into random embezzlement schemes and just use it to fund space exploration!

First of all, I'm an opponent of nuclear power here on earth.

But I'm absolutely for nuclear propulsion in space. These rockets can be made safe, the thing to be concerned about is the waste product. Prior to launch, the fuel can be encased safely as was done with the Apollo RTGs. So even the explosion of a fully fueled rocket on the pad will not be a problem. The engine is then only activated once safely in space.

There is no reason by have any panic reaction just because it has the word nuclear in it.

That’s because you haven’t seen my butt as a crohns sufferer. I clearly have the most explosive moon in the universe

True. Though there could be some that were shot out of a galaxy entirely. Or perhaps even rarer but possible is one forming in intergalactic space.

Leave it to a Dunmer to finish a Bosmer's work.

technically I believe rogue planets orbit the galactic center

Hey, it worked for the Telvanni.

An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System.

Small world department. I was working for Boeing's space systems division at the time, and we had a two-stage solid rocket in the cargo bay that flight. It was intended to send a NASA communications satellite to high orbit.

People in our division knew the astronauts, because we trained them how to deploy the upper stage with the satellite from the cargo bay. Until they found our rocket intact on the ocean floor, we didn't know if the accident was our fault, because it was 27,000 pounds of rocket fuel. Man that was a tense couple of weeks.

IIRC There was a valve they could have closed to stop the depressurization. Catch was, it needed to be turned a large number of times to close. Perhaps they attempted it. Took long time to shut. More time than they had.

Edit: Crap. I was wrong and it was worse than I thought.

"Based on examination of the hatch and valves, officials determined that air leaked from one of the two ventilation/equalization valves, located behind the control panel.•Although the crew would have been immediately aware of the leak, they had to determine its source, so they switched off radio transmitters to isolate the leak’s noise. Crew commander Dobrovolskiy’s body was found apparently attempting to cover the control panel with a checklist.•The crew could not close the valve because it lacked a manual closure mechanism and was inaccessible.•Within 40 seconds of depressurization during descent, the crew suffocated."

Finding some there and being first to take them, that's a story

The mycelium can be baked/dried to stasis,

Just get back to the five legged dog project, ok!

Planets outside our star system. They are either orbiting a different star, or there are rogue planets that move through space without orbiting some other object.
