Practically every time NASA got serious about going to Mars, going back to the moon, or deep space mission they have always started to develop nuclear power for space.
The benefits of nuclear power are obvious. It is able to provide a huge amount of power, continually, and reliably. They work in places were solar power is either very weak of not an option.
Unfortunately every time a nuclear power initiative is set it is never completed as the mission it was being designed for gets cancelled. Ultimately we need nuclear power for future missions. We need to develop it as a general capability so that we can then use it to build bases and travel in deep space.
