Nuclear Rockets: Space Travel’s Next Big Leap?

Imagine zipping to Jupiter or Saturn way faster than we do now! Two space CEOs say nuclear-powered rockets could totally change deep space travel—think shorter trips, bigger payloads, and missions way beyond Mars. Unlike solar or chemical engines, these nuclear fission systems can run for decades, even where sunlight can’t reach. The catch? Funding is still a big hurdle, but the tech is closer than ever. Could this be the breakthrough that finally gets us to the outer planets? #SpaceExploration #NuclearPropulsion #FutureTech #Science
