The United States is learning much from the failed missile explosion in Russia. We have similar, though more advanced, technology. The Russian “Skyfall” explosion has people worried about the air around the facility, and far beyond. Not good!

There has been some recent work on nuclear-thermal rockets but that is a whole different animal from the nuclear ramjet. It really is rocket surgery, though, so trying to explain the distinction to Cheeto would be like trying to teach a pig to sing (as Heinlein readers will recognize.)
