Game over! NASA is Now developing NEW Nuclear Rocket Engines...

When NASA’s Orion spacecraft returned to Earth from its trip around the moon earlier this year, it was moving blazingly fast, nearly 25,000 mph, or 32 times the speed of sound.
On a trip to the moon, a mere 240,000 miles away, that’s a fine speed. However, for Mars, it’s painfully slow.
Using the technology NASA has, it could take some seven months to get to the Red Planet.
That’s too long! Even astronauts get fussy when confined to a cramped space for months on end.
And it’s dangerous! The radiation levels on a Mars mission could expose astronauts to radiation levels more than 100 times greater than on Earth.
If NASA’s going to get to Mars, it needs to find a way to get there much faster. This is one of the reasons it is partnering with the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on development of nuclear propulsion technology.
"I'm pleased to announce that the nation's next big development in space technology, is a major investment in getting to Mars…NASA will partner with our long-term partner, DARPA, to develop and demonstrate advanced nuclear thermal propulsion technology as soon as 2027. "
Expose everything about this in today’s episode of Alpha Tech.

Now let’s dive right into NASA's NEW Nuclear Rocket Engines:
Back in January this year, NASA and DARPA announced a shocking collaboration to demonstrate a nuclear thermal rocket engine in space, an enabling capability for NASA crewed missions to Mars.
