We need to nuclear power everything. Chemical reactions are so weak. They will never propel us to the next stage of our evolution.
Everybody carping about how long SpaceX is taking to long to get Starship operational but just fine fantasizing about nuclear powered spaceships. These are not happening until there an economic need to get to Mars quickly. If Mars gets colonized to some degree, then maybe we’ll start real development. Halving travel times at 100x the cost and unknown dangers is a non-starter. Seriously, let’s get there first once. Waiting for faster ships to make radiation levels safer is a guarantee it will never happen. Get enormous tonnage to orbit, refuel on the Moon and Mars. Radiation can be better remediated by big ships with shielding. The mass of the spacecraft plus propellant gives lots of extra shielding as well.
This is never going to get slapped on a rocket even if its for second stage with public being misinformed/fearmongering that 50MW NTP blowing up on LEO = chernobyl.
