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.

On the fusion side--there is substantial development needed. But it should be noted that the proposed technology is a great deal easier than earth-based fusion reactors. To put it really simply, the propulsion technology takes a major problem on earth-based reactors and turns it into a benefit by blasting all the excess heat and energy out the back for propulsion.

Glad we delayed things two months for the outcome we all expected.

Not sure what's going on with Crew 3. Lots of shuffling going on.

One of the astronauts had a "minor health issue", not sure if NASA has provided any additional updates.

Looks like Crew 2 is coming down today. Crew 3 is scheduled to go up on Wednesday (9:03pm ET launch).

On a different note, it's crazy and impressive how often NASA manages to get their missions to go far beyond their planned life. The little helicopter that could just keeps on going.
