| This is a really stupid idea. I believe the minimum yield of a small nuke is about 2 kilotons. The costs trying to tap just enough of the explosive power of 2000 tons of TNT to keep vehicle acceleration within the limits of human endurance and at the same time providing enough detonations to keep the vehicle moving would be much too high, and far more than the payoff.
