I just turn 60 years old yesterday. My father got me out of bed, when I was six to witness Neil Armstrong take those first steps on the moon. I barely, but do, remember it. I really remember being grumpy and wanting to to go back to bed. Now, I don't have that much time left. Please do these things quickly. I want to see so much in the area of space exploration! I promise this time, I'll be smiling when man first steps on Mars.

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! LETS GO NASA AND DARPA!

Outstanding. It's about time we started making headway in space propulsion.

Very exciting!! What a great bit of news to hear from NASA and DARPA!! Cheers!!

I can’t wait to see what this engine will look like

You don't often hear DARPA spoken in public. This is real.

Finally something exciting to look forward to with space exploration I can’t

This speech is one of the most inspiring ones I have ever heard in the last 2 years..

Worth looking up the old NERVA nuclear rocket project, in the late '50's and '60's.
And let's have them teach Bill Nelson to say nuclear ... nu - cle - ar.

A very good idea, nuclear powered rockets to accelerate travel to the Moon and Mars is a must and a very good priority technology to develop

JarheadsYeshua

Awesome! This combined with starship will open the solar system.

This engine works and is proven. They tested something similar in the 70s.

He wanted more applause than he got, poor guy.

They do this now because SpaceX Rockets is so Big and 10 times Cheaper than NASAs rockets to launch so this is the only way they can compete with SpaceX Rockets

Emily: What's all this talk about CRUDE spaceflights? That's terrible! Space transportation should be PRECISE!
Me: That's "crewed" spaceflights... not "crude".
Emily: Ohhh, that's different

This is very good news. exciting to think about.

Never trust anyone who can't pronounce 'nuclear'.

So, astronomers worldwide are complaining about Musk's Starlink polluting the night sky, photon pollution. That's nothing compared to the radiation this thing will spread around our orbits, they will tell you it's just heat pollution, just like all those reactors. NIMBY remember ?
