Take your knowledge of space travel to the next level with our new YouTube video on nuclear propulsion!

Discover how nuclear thermal propulsion technology can double the propellant efficiency of chemical rockets, making it a viable option for crewed missions to Mars. We'll also compare future nuclear propulsion to conventional chemical rockets like the Saturn V and even the Epstein Drive from the Expanse TV series.

In our video, you'll learn about the theory, design, and operation of nuclear propulsion engines.

MeV is mega-electronvolt (unit of energy that is more convenient than Joule on atomic/nuclear scale), Kelvin is always a capital K, not k, and 4 years is overly optimistic (but it´ll be closer to 4 than to 40 years, I´d expect).
