The deluge system produces a mixture of water and air. That is necessary

Once upon a time, there was a thing called Orion, which was supposed to be
a big heavy shield that would be propelled into space by setting off atomic
bombs on one side of it. Lots and lots of bombs. At some point people

going to be the closest we have come to Orion, just upside down.
