The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) Space Nuclear Propulsion Technologies Committee, consensus study for NASA, recently completed its work. The Committee's report, "Space Nuclear Propulsion for Human Mars Exploration," was formally released on 12 February 2021. A copy of the report can be downloaded from the NASEM National Academies' Press website: <www.nap.edu/25977>. Additionally, a free public webinar will be held 4:30-6:00 PM EST on Monday, 22 February 2021. To register for this webinar, go to <https://lnkd.in/gNaUrGM>
Truly honored to have participated in this important, forward-thinking effort. It was enjoyable, yet challenging, and a lot of work over 9 months by a group of very smart and talented people with tremendous expertise. Sure hope that the report will provide positive insights in our nation's pursuit to transport Americans to Mars and return them home safely. God willing....I would dearly love to witness this in my lifetime. Ad Martis!
