Nuclear pulse propulsion is a theoretical spacecraft propulsion method that uses nuclear explosions to generate thrust. The basic concept involves detonating a series of nuclear bombs behind a spacecraft, which pushes it forward. This idea was notably explored in the 1950s and 1960s in a project called Project Orion. ### How It Works: 1. **Nuclear Pulses**: The spacecraft would carry a payload of nuclear bombs.
