NASA’s Nuclear Thermal Propulsion Aims to Cut Mars Travel Time by 2027

NASA is set to revolutionize space travel with its nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) system, aiming to halve the travel time to Mars by 2027. In collaboration with DARPA, this groundbreaking technology harnesses nuclear fission for faster, more efficient missions, potentially transforming our approach to space exploration and paving the way for advanced crewed missions to the red planet.
