      Hmmm, a nuclear based propellant. Might be easiest to make it a pulse based rocket so you can use a bunch of tiny nuclear explosions to propel yourself into space. I’m sure that won’t have any environmental ramifications.

        The satellite is just to monitor popping, the blast itself handles themals.
