WHAT IS AREA-51 AND THE NUCLEAR THERMAL ROCKET PROGRAM REALLY?

This program born out of man's fear and hatred for each other is really a sin against science. It has seriously retarded scientific discovery and knowledge. There is a whole solar system that begs to be explored. The technology developed at Nevada Test Site should be being used to increase man's knowledge of the Universe around him. This means having a manned exploration program of the Solar System. How sick is our species that this technology is being put to such malevolent use?
