Two of #ElonMusk goals are staggeringly ambitious, but he is well on his way to achieving them, such as humans becoming a multi-planet species and making spaceflight routine and affordable. In light of the fact that he just revealed about #SpaceX #NuclearTechnology that will change everything in the space industry.

Evidently, SpaceX strives to implement cutting-edge technologies that will accelerate its future growth. However, nuclear propulsion technology stands out as the most revolutionary technology. Now, what kind of spaceship would you have if nuclear propulsion technology is to be used? Elon Musk tweeted back in 2019, as I quote “Nuclear thermal rocket for fast transit around solar system would be a great area of research for @NASA”. Further, he clarified that thermal nuclear rockets are ideal for in-space transit, but they're not recommended for earth-to-orbit travel. This is his response to a story by Universal-Sci which explained how nuclear rockets have the potential of reducing the amount of time it would take to reach Mars from 240 days to just 100 days.
