Last month I talked briefly to
Dr. Steven D. Howe
for a proposed test site for the three scale model tests of year one to make sure its cost was within my previous budget.
It would take 16 million dollars to prep the site (retired chemical rocket launch tube) for testing and If I show up at the gate with an engine to test it is $2 million per test with 6 month cool down period between testswhich is doable in my three year budget. Therefore 6 million
can be moved from year two to year one to maintain my launch date for the full scale engine at the end of year two and full scale mass production capabilities at the end of year three..
The $16 million prep costs is a DOE cost as it is the only test facility for all other atomic rocket tests proposed as will be considerd a previously contaminated site suitable for reuse.
As I own the national and international patents I will then sell each 1000 ton engine to NASA and other countries for $1 billon each if the above costs to not increase significantly due to delay in NASA funding or to meet their future arbitray non requirements stated as requirements
As one engine will deliver approx 80,000 tons of payload both to and from Mars the cost per ton is $12,500 = $6.50 per pound payload.
As the engine is by design reusable for at least 100 such missions and the refueling costs each round trip of 900 tons of water and appoximately 1000 kg of radioactive metal from recycled reactor fuel waste and decomissoned atomic bomb fuel is considered insignifigant if not zero the cost drops to 6 1/2 cents per pound delivered to Mars or anyplace else in the solar system.
Example: The sample Mars engine reaches 689 km/sec peak velocity at mid trip therefore to make the journey to Pluto using the same engine. payload and line of sight navigation coasting at zero gravity at that velocity for 100 days one tranverses the 5.9 billon km to pluto in aprroximately 100 days.
