Re: Launch and landing
Launch sites are already selected for remoteness and a flight path over hundreds of kilometres of sea because hypergolic fuel is very nasty stuff and even if nicer fuels are used nobody wants a rocket landing on their house. So, launching a very small nuclear reactor isn't a problem. Many nuclear powered rovers have already been launched (yes I know the reactor type is very different but the potential contamination from a crashed and ruptured rocket is not so different).
