Nuclear rockets heat hydrogen with a compact reactor, giving far higher efficiency than chemical engines. NASA tests prove the idea works, with future designs promising faster trips to Mars and deeper space. But what limits it? More details below. 

What if rockets used nuclear propulsion? How fast could we reach Mars

The study indicated that if microbial life once existed on Mars, its chemical traces might still be hidden beneath the planet’s icy surface. Pure ice, researchers found, can preserve organic material for 10 million years, potentially long enough for future human missions to uncover it.

Life on Mars? Study finds traces of life may still lie beneath the planet's frozen surface

Has NASA just uncovered the most compelling evidence of life beyond Earth? A Martian rock sample — nicknamed Sapphire Canyon — may hold the clearest biosignatures ever found on Mars. From mineral patterns to organic compounds, scientists say this 3.5-billion-year-old rock might be our best shot yet at answering humanity’s oldest question: Are we alone in the universe? Here's what we know so far — and what comes next.
