U.S. needs nuclear spacecraft to compete with China, NASA official tells Congress
Fox News
A NASA official told Congress on Wednesday that the United States needs more nuclear spacecrafts in order to compete with China.
The testimony from Lal and other experts comes amid reports that China has tested an orbital rocket that could deliver nuclear weapons at supersonic speeds.
China in August test-launched two hypersonic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, the Financial Times reported. Such projectiles can fly at more than five times the speed of sound – slower than a ballistic missile, but are harder to track and stop.
