Nuclear rockets are the most effective tools for civil and military operators.

Nuclear thermal propulsion is a powerful system. It allows the possibility transfer spacecraft to Mars in a short time. If we compare that system with regular chemical rockets. Nuclear thermal propulsion is one of the most promising systems in the world for many other missions than just for the interplanetary drive. 

The nuclear-powered systems can use to make repairments service to space telescopes. That is orbiting the sun far away from Earth. Also, nuclear-powered space shuttles can operate freely in the orbiting trajectory. 

The nuclear-powered recon satellites or recon shuttles can wait at high orbiters. And then they can dive into the lower orbiter for their missions. And then return to a higher orbiter. 


Small-size nuclear reactors can use subcritical - or modified thorium reactors. In that system, an outcoming energy ray like a laser- or microwave radiation keeps fission going. 


Modular nuclear-powered systems can mount in the small suttle's cargo bay. Those miniature reactors can use the plutonium with weapon enrichment level or modified thorium technology. 

Modified thorium technology or subcritical nuclear reactors are safer than regular reactors. Subcritical nuclear reactors require laser or outcoming energy rays to maintain fission. Cutting energy rays ends the fission reaction. 


Nuclear reactors can use for powerful spaceborne lasers. 


Nuclear reactors can also use in spaceborne military satellites. If large-size satellites are far away from Earth that gives them time to react to incoming ASAT weapons. There is a possibility that four large-size recon satellites can see almost the entire Earth if they are at stationary trajectories. Those satellites are in a static position and they would turn their telescopes. And that allows that system to see all positions on Earth in seconds. Those satellites might be similar to the JWST telescope. 

But stationary recon satellites are good targets for ASAT weapons. That means they need the weapon system to defend themselves against kinetic energy ASAT. And those systems can use also be against other satellites. The same satellite can operate as recon and attack missions at least against other satellites. 

If the killer satellite is above all other satellites it can destroy targets by using high-power lasers or maser rays. The military killer satellite can al jam the communication of other satellites. And those systems can deny communication between nuclear submarines and command centers.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible.

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru

There might be an answer to why there is a gravitational hole in Earth's gravitational field.

The gravitational field at the point of the Indian Ocean is weaker than in other places on Earth. The existence of that gravitational hole is proved. But the reason why that gravitational hole is formed is unknown. The reason why the gravitational field on the Indian Ocean is weaker might be a simple thing.  There is a possible lighter rock in the mantle, or there is less material at that point. In some wildest theories, there are bubbles in magma that turn below the bottom of the Indian Ocean are less massive than in other places on Earth. The lighter material at that point should make the hole in gravitation.  "Geoid undulation in false color.
