NASA & MIT’s NEW Nuclear Rocket Could Get Humans to Mars in Half the Time
The biggest hurdle for a Mars mission has always been the 9-month travel time—until now. A joint project between NASA and MIT has successfully tested a centrifugal nuclear thermal engine that could cut the trip to just 3 months. By slashing travel time, we reduce radiation exposure for astronauts

NASA & MIT’s NEW Nuclear Rocket Could Get Humans to Mars in Half the Time

The journey to Mars just got a lot shorter. NASA and MIT are developing a "Centrifugal Nuclear Thermal Rocket" that uses liquid uranium to achieve three times the thrust of chemical engines. This tech could slash a one-way trip to the Red Planet to just 3–6 months, significantly reducing radiation exposure for future crews.

News: Billionnaire to send all-woman crew into space.

Me: Reagan't PR stunt with woman school-teacher and NASA now stands for #NeedAnotherSevenAstronauts. What's next? SEWA: ... CW to come ..

News: #NASA brings #DARPA on-board to develop #NuclearRocket to sent people to #Mars(because people are helpful in space suits?).

Me: One rocket goof over the #USA and DARPA stands for #DeathAndRavagesPermeateAmerica.

Me: How can we stop giving money to these bureaucracies?
