Well, we have done at least one Earth gravity assist with a nuclear payload in the past. There also was some criticism about it back then: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini%E2%80%93Huygens#Plutoni...

Is there actually any evidence that this would improve performance significantly? Removing the translation layer means that every OS and their file systems have to do good wear leveling because otherwise you'll destroy blocks quickly.
