The project to which this paper is a contribution is a prospectus for the integrated industrial development of the Solar System. Fast transit on an interplanetary scale is a prerequisite before such a development can be established. To facilitate this freedom of movement, this study has defined a suite of fast, large-scale interplanetary ships, achievable in the relatively near term. As background, the present paper is a review of the literature on the feasibility of fast, large-scale, nuclear-powered, cargo-carrying and\/or crewed interplanetary craft, as explored historically from the development of atomic theory itself through to the application of modern fusion-technology high-performance propulsion systems. The study is part of the BIS SPACE (Study Project Advancing Colony Engineering) technical initiative.<\/p>\n
