They [molds] also play important roles in biotechnology and food science in the production of various pigments, foods, beverages, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and enzymes. - Wikipedia

So, about Project Orion from Wikipedia

In August 1955, Ulam co-authored a classified paper proposing the use of nuclear fission bombs, “ejected and detonated at a considerable distance,” for propelling a vehicle in outer space.

Aren’t there plans again?

Considering that you need huge shields and dampening and you only have the mass of the bomb itself as propelant, is it still as effective as controlled propulsion?

For some types of bread, the machine can do it much more uniformly and without crushing. This can be difficult for humans.

I guess because there is no crust to grab. Gotta get grease and maybe sauce on your hands to eat the inner squares.
