When you have to choose between being stranded in space, or using unconventional propulsion methods, the choice is clear. What is not clear, is how did you get this much gasoline in the middle of nowhere.

co2 also makes it less flamable

The gap here is for neut to cool down, reducing risk of igniting oil. Still, it should be cooled better, or just made longer
-
the thing looks itself not bad
-
it doesnt show how the NERVA works but anyway
-
but still you could connect neut chamber to produce even more thrust
-
yes water vaporizes and makes thrust too
-
in tpt this engine uses neut's ability to generate pressure, and well theres no actual reactor so... idk
-
i made it max temp
-
Sir, it overheated to max temp and exploded

Yes, but the concept of using the nuclear reactor to generate thrust is still here. The only diffrence is that the propellant does not flow through the reactor
