I'm thinking that element 115,after completing assembly, can be formed in a cone shape, (point at top),for propulsion and shields the outer craft with the cooling property affect.

Not sure how a hunk of metal would provide propulsion, even for the few seconds it would exist.
According to contemporary nuclear physics, Element 115 is next door to Element 114 which is at an island of nuclear stability. However this island of stability is around 184 neutrons with a closed neutron shell in the nucleus for Element 114 or nearby ones like Element 115, 113 etc. It is predicted that nuclei at or much closer to the so-call magic number of atomic nuclei with 184 neutrons could have half-lives or thousands of years or more but so far only isotopes with the high 170s of neutrons have been produced for Element 115 or 114, 113, 116 etc. And yes this would still be expensive to produce atomic nuclei in this way.Go look up element 115 on wikipedia. It took undoubtedly many days of operation of a $100 million accelerator to produce a handful of atoms. How are you going to produce 10^28 or so atoms?? And how are you going to do it when the half life of the atoms is less than a second. You gonna make 10^28 atoms, form it into a spacecraft and fly the mission in a few seconds before it disintegrates?? And the decay heat of a macroscopic amount would vaporize your spacecraft and crew in a fraction of a second (think trillions of trillions of 60 megaton Tsar Bomba detonations within a few seconds of each other. Think all this through and get back to us . . . .
There might be more of these heavier super-heavy nuclei closer to those having 184 neutrons produced soon when the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams comes on-line at Michigan State University, likely some time in 2022.According to contemporary nuclear physics, Element 115 is next door to Element 114 which is at an island of nuclear stability.
