TL 6 nuclear rocket / missile

[Enoki]

Here's a proposal by North American Aircraft in the late 40's to build a nuclear engine version of the V-2. If you combine this with a larger rocket, it would be possible for a world to have an interplanetary vessel carrying several crew at TL's as low as possibly 5 or 6. It also presents an alternative to nuclear rockets using atomic bombs as the propulsion.

Something to consider for those that like steampunk and the sort of Jules Verne sci fi scenarios...
