The ball of frozen deuterium powered thermonuclear powered pulse propulsion units, similar to Project Orion engines.
Mini-Mag Orion (MMO), or Miniature Magnetic Orion, is a proposed type of spacecraft propulsion, based on the Project Orion nuclear propulsion system.
•
In addition, due to its close relationship to the original Project Orion, the MMO concept continues to be discussed throughout the blogosphere.
This technique was proposed in the 1950s and 60s, most notably by General Atomics in the form of Project Orion.

(This approach is a rough conventional-explosive analogue to the Project Orion nuclear rocket, although with many more explosions per second.) Note that this differs from a pulsed detonation rocket because the fuel consists solely of pre-positioned solid explosives.

The last produced Super Guppy remains in service: an SGT flown by NASA (currently used to ferry components for the International Space Station and Project Orion).
Plans for future crewed interplanetary spaceflight missions often include final vehicle assembly in Earth orbit, such as NASA's Project Orion and Russia's Kliper/Parom tandem.
