In present U.S. and Russian space rockets, thrust is produced by the combustion of highly volatile chemical propellants. In Rover, a small nuclear reactor will generate heat that will expand hydrogen. This, in turn, will be directed out of the rear of the rockets to provide thrust. Because the reactor and the hydrogen take up relatively little room, scientists estimate that Rover will be able to haul triple the loads of conventional rockets, could be adapted to shuttle flights between...
Bishop Burgess will continue to command the efforts of his diocese-which comprises roughly the eastern half of Massachusetts-to meet the new religious needs of inner Boston.

Presumably Africa should be a happy hunting ground for entrepreneurs-but they have to be businessmen ready and willing to take enormous political risks...
