The only reason why we didn't get Thunderbird 3 or the Tintin rocket was that writers in the 50s couldn't imagine the pushback towards nuclear that we'd see in the 60s, and all of those classic 50s rocket designs were more or less predicted on nuclear propulsion.

As long as it takes for firing nuclear engines in Earth's atmosphere to be anywhere near "kosher".

Myself, I was always more of a Thunderbird 3 kind of guy when it came to atomic-powered tripod rockets...
