re: #167 retired cynic

I’m glad I never was educated about this. GAH!

Project Pluto was bleeding edge tech for the time. A guided cruise missile with the capacity to guide to multiple targets and with effectively infinite range… in the early 60’s. As a doomsday weapon, it would have been horrifyingly effective. However, ICBM’s proved to be much cheaper and didn’t have the problem of trying to launch something with an unshielded nuclear ramjet engine.
