can this be real?
Double digit percentage of C

Daniel Moore
yes. we physically demonstrated nuclear rockets with double digit percentage C exhaust
Jack Brown
source?
Robert Butler
No, that;s just retarded. It would instantly vaporize in our atmosphere at much lower than relativistic speed. In space? Certainly not double-digit percentage of C. That would take insane amounts of energy. Someone please do the math.
Eli Perry
does it stop going fast if it vaporizes?
Michael Peterson
>>double digit percentage of C
so 10%?

Yeah, I think he meant double digits of a percentage of C. Can't beat lightspeed without wrecking causality.

Assume the cylinder to be made in a hard rock container of strong enough material.
The energy in calories of a nuclear bomb like Fat Man to be 1.5 x 10^10.
The combination of a thick copper or god forbid lead disk on top would take into account a fuckmendous (technical term) amount of energy from the expansion air first and then water. The cannon would vaporise the water almost immediately with residual microwave radiation decimating the residual water droplets. Ungodly levels of efficiency at 80 to 90 percent. The mechanism would break the disk too quickly athough the buckshot would fuck anything up withing atmospheric range....
However...if you really wanna fuck up their mother ship.
Use a thick rod of lead just barely touching the water with the nuke at the bottom. Blow gun style. This allows the bastard to pick up speed.
It is speed that kills, combine it with mass you get a Gnome rocket. Earth powered mother ship ripper.
