The Orion Project was a classified U.S. military program in the 1950s and 1960s exploring the possibility of nuclear pulse propulsion for spacecraft. It proposed using nuclear explosions to propel a large spacecraft to other planets. The project was ultimately canceled due to concerns about the environmental impact of nuclear testing in space.
In the rocket engine large amount of fuel are burnt. The burning fuel expands and is forces itself out the bottom of the rocket. As it pushes down, it pushes the rocket up. If the force pushing the rocket up exceeds its weight, the rocket will take off.
The Cassini spacecraft is named after Giovanni Domenico Cassini, an Italian-French astronomer who discovered four of Saturn's moons and the large gap in its rings now known as the Cassini Division.
The smallest observed thing in the galaxy are Quarks. However, there are postulated other particles that seem likely to exist but are yet to be observed. given the resent success of the large hadron collider in the coming years it is entirely possible more will be discovered.
The number of thrusters on a spaceship can vary depending on the size and type of the spacecraft. Typically, a spaceship may have multiple thrusters, including main propulsion engines for large maneuvers and smaller thrusters for fine control and adjustments in orientation. Some spacecraft may have dozens of thrusters for different purposes.
No you can find updates on the Large Hadron Collider's (LHC) progress at the link below.
CERN's Large Hadron Collider has been repaired and is in full operation. (January 2012)
No. As far as is known there are no aliens. The large hadron collider is a research tool, not a weapon.
the hadron collider has a diameter of 3.8 metres and has a circumference of 17 miles (27 kilometres)

the Large Hadron Collider
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) built by CERN near Geneva, Switzerland.
As of the latest experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, approximately 150 femtobarns of data have been collected.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) weighs approximately 38,000 tonnes, which is equivalent to about 84 million pounds.
