Answer:
In 1955, the US Government embarked on an experiment aimed at developing nuclear fission reactors that could be flown on a rocket. This was called Project:_________.
A) Rover
Explanation:
Project Rover was a landmark experimental attempt by the United States to develop rocket-propelled nuclear bombs. Its conception was a long time before it was launched in 1955 at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL). It was initially a United States Air Force project aimed at developing a nuclear-powered upper stage for an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Following the Space Race triggered by the Russian Sputnik, the project was transferred to NASA in 1958. But after some international treaties banning nuclear weapons experiments, the project was disbanded in 1973.
