Small yield nukes
Pretty interesting discussion. Small yield nuclear explosions could be used for thrust in a spacecraft. That is only a theoretical concept these days. Treaties have made their development out of the question, not to mention their deployment in an actual system.
Such a system could make planetary exploration more feasible than with chemical rockets. Far less fuel would be needed in order to generate the delta v that would be necessary for long distance interplanetary missions.
