Nuclear Rocket Engine

Fascinated by NASA's revival of the NERVA project, which initially launched in the 1950s but was shelved in the early 1970s. Now, NASA is reevaluating these types of rocket motors as a vital propulsion system for deep space manned missions. Here's my interpretation of a scaled-up design: Increased to 200% size, this engine would take approximately 20 hours to print on a Prusa MK2s with 15% infill, resulting in a 60-megabyte G file.
