How much does it cost to send a fully automated probe to alpha centuari that is propelled by nuclear bombs. Assuming it's top speed is only 40% to 50% light speed. Maybe in the future we can use antimatter engines.

You are misinterpreting your goyslop scifi movies. It's not about the cost. It's about the fact that this technology is not available and will not be available in the foreseeable future.

Not with Orion lol. Just no. The specific impulse of Orion's like 100,000 s tops. Take the sail pill

Nuclear bombs and coca cola vending machines exist. Orion could be built today if it wasn't for politics
