Interesting, short read.

Paul A. Czysz, a 30-year veteran of the industry, continuing consultant to the U.S. military and professor emeritus of aerospace engineering at St. Louis University, thinks NASA can curb the travel time to the outer planets from nearly a decade to a matter of weeks - something he considers critical for the human exploration of the solar system. What's required, he said, is a renewed commitment to nuclear propulsion.

well DUH!

But nooOOOoo! Radioactives are BAD! uhm KAY!

I think they should ship up empty reactors, assemble them in space,
and the fuel can be sent up in cannisters that could survive reentry.

Hehe. Yeah - duh :-)
Never hurts to reiterate.
We need to just go ahead and finally reveal the stargate - then we won't have to worry about it anymore. :-)

Well, having ONE stargate doesn't help us.

Man, non-toxic wormholes between the planets...
