Our engines can be the foundation for a whole range of space missions that currently seem like science fiction,\u201d he said, adding that there was no timeline on when the rockets would be ready.<\/p>\n<p>Their engine, he claims, could get to the moon in just a few days and Mars in seven or eight months.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed design, which has been in the works since 2009, uses a unique propulsion system that is comprised of a gas-cooled fission reactor that powers a generator, which in turn feeds a plasma thruster.<\/p>\n<p>Nuclear power has been used for space travel since 1961. Radioisotope Thermal Generators (RTGs) have been used for numerous space probes and missions. But a nuclear-powered rocket used for a mission would be a new development.<\/p>\n<p>Both the U.S. and Russia had nuclear-powered rocket programs in the 1950s and \u201860s, but research was stopped in the \u201870s and \u201880s when both projects ran out of funding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The race to Mars and back to the moon is on and in November a Russian researcher announced a bold plan in the next generation of space travel.
