To all of the space advocates :
Start your nuclear engines !
You are so right about the spalling problem . Sand is great at absorbing energy . I figured that the iron would extra-hard to penetrate, would not eject shrapnel but would absorb tremendous energy by welding . Perhaps elastomer mounts could support this cone ? Maybe thorium fuel would be best ? Synergy is the ticket , eh ? Let's go space truckin' in " industrable " ships !.......P.M.
