    B Could you travel using nuclear bombs?

    This one goes 0.1 speed of light, but if I'm correct, with my solution, you could transport humans at that speed. https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/slough_niac_2014_fdr_v2_tagged.pdf

    B Could you travel using nuclear bombs?

    It said the theoretical top speed was about 10%. That's what I came to when I compared the energy density of a reactor with jet fuel.

    Feel free to endulge us. I used an energy converter I found online.

    B Could you travel using nuclear bombs?

    Wicked! I did some calculations :P and found that you could get more than the speed of light with a Tsar Bomb: 50 megatons is 4.8 B stronger than jet fuel.

    B Could you travel using nuclear bombs?

    Even if you didn't have enough plasma to stop a spaceship, you could use athmospheres of all kinds, going tipsy-turvy around a solar system until you make it; that would be a virtuose feat of accuracy, but theoretically feasible; and what's to say that light isn't an expression of mass, just...

    B Could you travel using nuclear bombs?

    I have two scenarios. One; imagine that, at the same time as the engine of your ship is ignited, there is also a device detonated inside the ship. If timed correctly, the difference between the two would equal out, right? For now, there's one huge problem and that's making sure the aim is...
