Nuclear is actually a pretty safe source of power, it's just had a rough history. We should most definitely pursue nuclear-powered rockets. If we don't, we might be delayed even longer before daily access to space is a reality. If the Bush administration safely shows the safety of nuclear power to the masses, perhaps resistance will drop.
We need an army of experts citing how it's safe, why it's a better source of energy, and how it will propel our nation into the future. The average joe who knows what nuclear power is probably has his doubts.
