The study is "nuclear power for space exploration", it touched on propulsion but that was the extent of the effort.

I'd think it would just push the water out of the way right? Like if you have a puddle and you turn a leaf blower on it you'll blow the water away to expose the ground underneath. I'm thinking the same thing would happen in this case.

if we're here for 20,000 times long than we've been keeping historical record, that would be a miracle.
