Fusion Explosive Rocketry

Prerequisites:
Required Theory:
  • Fission Explosive Rocketry
  • Fusion Explosives
Required or Contributory Development:
  • Fusion Explosives (dev)
  • 2
Contributory or Required Observations:
  • 1
  • 2


Description:
    This is essentially the same technology as Fission Explosive Rocketry, save that the explosives are fusion based instead of fission-based.  This could very well make the resulting rocket craft more efficient and less radiation-producing, depending on the level of Fusion Explosives development done.
    This also has the advantage that the raw materials for fusion explosives are more plentiful in the universe, and thus it should be possible to fuel more such craft.  (IE mining jovian moons for fusile volatiles).
