Anyone else following the development of nuclear propulsion? https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/n...concept-awards

This is exciting because it very obviously the key to real space exploration--potentially cutting transit times in half. And it is eminently doable with current fission technology.

And, on a longer horizon, there is reason to hope for fusion propulsion in our lifetime: https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/sp...driven_rocket/

All these steps to get things in orbit, maybe to the moon, are great. But the real fun begins with serious space propulsion.
