Critics counter that unmanned, expendable rockets can loft most satellites into orbit at far less cost and with much less risk than the reusable shuttle, which has been plagued by technological glitches. The argument will heat up this spring as Congress decides whether to fund a $30 billion orbiting space station. NASA plans to use the shuttle to ferry up astronauts to assemble the station, then supply it with unmanned rockets.

...nuclear devices go, Galileo's generators were relatively innocuous. Thermoelectric generators are battery-like gadgets that use natural radioactive decay in their fuel cells to produce electric power. Timberwind's engines, on the other hand, are true nuclear reactors that split atoms and generate heat, using the same chain reactions that power atom bombs. Although modern nuclear engineering has virtually eliminated the risk of explosions and meltdowns in such reactors, the problem of disposing of radioactive wastes has not gone away. Nor has the stigma attached to nuclear reactors in general. "If anybody tries launching a reactor-powered rocket," says...
