<p>LANL physicist Steve Howe was a proponent of <a href="https://www.lanl.gov/science/NSS/issue1_2011/story4full.shtml">
plowsharing Rover</a> into a nuclear rocket for Mars with the argument that the radiation exposure to astronauts by the drive was less than the extra time spent outside the earth's magnetic field (charged-particle shield) in the cosmic/solar radiation flux.</p>
<p>He went on to promoting antimatter (anti-protons) instead:</p>

<p>Oh yeh, and he's the first person I know to have self-published (science) fiction through Amazon (before Doug Roberts even). 
<br>
</p>
<p>He used to carry a briefcase full of copies on his work-travels to sell on the plane and/or restock the rack at the ABQ Sunport.   I Just checked his Amazon page and it seems he's continued to riff:</p>

<p>His first book exposes his techno-libertarian tendencies.  I just learned of the sequel(s).<br>

Reminds me of that period in which people were desperately looking for something to do with nuclear explosives other than kill one another. Like:  "Let's blow a new hole in the Isthmus of Panama!"  Project Plowshares, it was called.

What Should We Make Of Sasha Chapin's Claim That Taking LSD Restored His Sense Of Smell After COVID?

I haven't read it, yet. I'm hoping posting it here will remind me to actually read it.
