It was an image that defined an era of space exploration. In 1969, an estimated 600 million people watched from their living rooms as Apollo 11's Eagle lander touched down on the Moon. With one small step, the United States crossed the finish line of the Space Race. But what if this event never happened? What if we never landed on the Moon? Could the Cold War have ended sooner? Would climate change be worse? And, would you be lost all the time?

By the year 2035, NASA plans to send humans to Mars. But it would be about a nine-month trip with our current rocket technology. However, in the not-so-distant future, we could be replacing chemical engines with nuclear thermal propulsion. That would take you to Mars in just three months. What are the risks of using nuclear propulsion? How would it work? Have we used nuclear energy in space before?
