NASA is pushing forward and asking for significant funding from congress to fund the Nuclear Prometheus Project. Where do I sign up for flight testing can you imagine sitting on a nuclear powered rocket ;) Very interesting to say the least. [Space.com]

I believe that having a nuclear powered space shuttle is a remarkable idea. Imagine being able to excelerate the entire or almost entire way to a destination ; ). Interplanetary travel will become more feasible and help bridge the gap between worlds. All we need to do is fight of the evirmentalists who believe it will be polluting space, idiots Space is already “poluted” by all of the radiation generated space shuttles will not efect it.
