I disagree with you about nuclear propulsion being the only way to get humans to Mars. I have done research on Ion propulsion and while it may have extremely slow acceleration a possible "sling shot" around th earth or the moon would be time efficient and is a possibility.
Yes, I agree with DarkSarin, people that are ignorant automattically think that nuclear means bomb or meltdown or disaster. Albeit there are obviously some risk factors but I think they are worth it. I would love to see JIMO hit Europa because I think it has one of the best chances for holding life in our solar system.
