Proving DRACO will deliver
The United States is now closer than it has been in over five decades to launching the first nuclear thermal rocket into space, thanks to DRACO—the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Orbit.

Most recent papers on cold fusion have been devoted to experimental procedures and the results of nuclear product detection efforts. There is a lack of data on the state of the sample after the experiments. These data may shed some light on the process that leads to nuclear reactions. An attempt is made to relate the composition and surface morphology of deuterides to the observed anomalous nuclear events.
