Nuclear Propulsion — How close are we to the Expanse?

Posted by in categories: chemistry, space travel

The future of space travel with my new YouTube video on nuclear propulsion! Learn how this technology can improve the propellant efficiency of chemical rockets, making it a viable option for crewed missions to Mars, and perhaps get us to the stars.

Plus, compare nuclear propulsion to conventional chemical rockets such as the Saturn V and to the Epstein Drive from the Expanse.


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.
