Some industry info on 3IA
I'm gonna try to keep this brief. I have some friends who work in some interesting places and we have been talking about the situation in the world a lot because we both work in a related industry. Space and nuclear mostly. I digress.
Word got out about 15 days ago that Trump was shown options for a planetary defense plan and the rumored reason for it was 3IA. This caused a pretty big panic in certain industries at the high level.
So nobody in my circle really knew what these plans involved until yesterday. Why? Someone got a bunch of very specific parameters for some new nuclear propulsion systems and vehicles. This was a massively funded project apparently which is strange because they involved a bunch of rockets from 2000 tonnes to 190,000 tonnes. Yes obvs that is unusual if you know anything about rockets; the saturn V was about 3,000 tonnes. These were updated versions of the Project Orion ships from the 60s.
Anyway fast forward to yesterday and this thing about restarting nuclear testing comes out of nowhere. We're trying to make sense of this and one person I work with said basically:
>Somebody showed Trump Project Orion and he instantly told them give the entire NASA budget to a crash program to get one flying in early 2026.
The conclusion we all have is that they are scrambling to get something stacked that can get a few million pounds of payload on a matching trajectory with 3IA no matter where it ends up
From everything being discussed about 3IA this is what I'm hearing. Again I won't be able to give rationales since this is stuff isn't coming from anything I've personally seen:
