Pratt & Whitney has developed a revolutionary design for a thermal nuclear rocket – a practical design rapid deep-space exploration suitable, for example, for a human expedition for Mars.

Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come-- Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare
