>I feel like no one in /sfg/ talks about the development of commercial nuclear thermal propulsion

Probably doesn't help that you don't even know what you are talking about, Ultra Safe won a demonstration for a REP spacecraft using their Embercore and not an NTP. They never bid to develop an NTP engine.

Ultra Safe is using cobalt specifically because it isn't death am become destroyer of worlds.

>EmberCore is a nuclear chargeable ceramic (NCC) that produces heat and x-rays without the need for externally applied power. An EmberCore is composed of individual “embers” made from a family of commercially available, inert isotopes charged with neutrons in a nuclear reactor.

>Please don't bait.

What bait, it has 2-3x the ISP of the best chemical engines but unlike electric propulsion (image related) it has plenty of thrust to overcome gravity losses in cislunar space.
