That was the image I was expecting. I still have that old Omni issue (or Science Digest) that had all those designs displayed, back in the early to mid 1980s.

Can you imagine what the nimbys and greenis and bananas would do if Nasa anounced it was putting a nuclear reactor on the pad in Florida to launch into space?

Gah what a mess that would be.
