To turn these dreams into reality, NASA is working on a project that would facilitate our journey to Mars, using modern technology powered by a nuclear propulsion system. The nuclear propulsion ...

Nuclear energy, and, particularly for me, nuclear ship propulsion, continues to be a tantalizing solution to CO2 reduction. We know nuclear energy works, but from that point on there appear to be ...

The tests showed the fuel can withstand the harsh conditions of a nuclear thermal propulsion reactor. In other words, it has the capability to one day power a nuclear rocket that could fire humans ...

The best, in fact, the only, candidate for this is the Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) system or nuclear rocket. First conceived of in 1945, this is a rocket that replaces burning chemical fuel ...

A new type of nuclear thermal propulsion reactor fuel has been successfully tested at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, with hopes that the fuel could take humans to Mars in the not-too ...

But before that can happen, nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) technologies still have quite a way to go before we could blast astronauts through space on a nuclear rocket. However, earlier this ...

The same viewpoint, adamant and beaming with cult-favoritism advocates that the next installment, Project Orion, becomes fully first-person without those exceptions and in a way, doubles down on ...

Cyberpunk 2077’s Lifepaths are an interesting outlet for customization. In gameplay, which of the three Lifepaths players select is made out to seem much more impactful than it actually is in ...

But if we are to expand humankind's firsthand reach into the solar system beyond the Moon, we need new, better, and more effective means of propulsion. Like, say, nuclear. Solar energy propulsion ...
