they powered Honolulu with the output of *one* of these subs. Cooling them in space, where you don't have access to billions of tons of cold sea water, is left to the good offices of your local thermal engineer. Ron Wanttaja Help me out with this one. While all the sci-fi I sopped up as a kid referred to the "cold of outer space," isn't vacuum a perfect insulator? How WOULD you cool the reactors (or whatever engine) with no atmosphere or handy heavy liquid at lower temp? Wouldn't it take a long time for the excited molecules to settle down? I love this thread.
