It is hard to overstate how delusional it is to think that chemical rockets could ever compete with nuclear thermal. It's in the same category as scoffing at computers because you can just hire more people with slide rules to do your calculations.

Damn i miss websites made by just one person. You can feel human personality in the writing style. It's fun to read cause it wasnt written by someone at work

I know what you mean but a fun fact here is that the people with the slide rules had the job title of "computer", what they did was "computing".
