Review of The Last Push

The Last Push (2012)
Not even close to being Real Science
29 October 2020
Ever since the NASA Cooperation with the making of 1968 Movie 2001: A Space Odyssey based on Scientist Arthur C. Clarke's 1951 story "The Sentinel", the advanced (even now 2020) NASA science required to get to Jupiter and return to Earth became common knowledge.

A self learning Artificial Intelligence Computer, to decrease the numbers of crew, and decrease the required Resources of a large crew. Mandatory inclusion of Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics"

Primary, Secondary, Tertiary aerospace, Propulsion and avionics, are and have been a NASA minimum requirement.

Hibernation to minimize the resources (oxygen, water, food, electricity, waste disposal and recycling) required.

Nuclear Impulse engines, to attain near light speed, without having to have lots of fuel, as huge spacecraft fuel tanks, that would make the construction costs too expensive for anybody any Nation. 1982 Novel 2010: Odyssey Two as 1984 Movie 2010: The Year We Make Contact has a Multi National Funded spacecraft going to find out what happened to the U.S.S. (United States Spacecraft) Discovery One and Crew in orbit Jupiter.

Artificial Man Made Gravity. The requirement not as depicted, as that design is only for a shorter distance and time of flight Earth To Mars Spacecraft. Not enough space for Resources, and radiation shielding for that amount of time.
