The cheezy idea of using 1 megaton nuclear explosive is not only
dangerously stupid - but relatively ineffective, as it brings up the
question of "Just how the hell *DO* you control the shape of the blast?!".
While nuclear explosions can most assuredly propel a craft - it wouldn't
propel it FTL. Goto 10. =)
