It enables nothing. Like nuclear power on Earth, nuclear power in space should be used responsibly. It isn't on Earth and it isn't in space thanks to shills for the industry like you. Calling the possibility of the Titan rocket pile-driving itself into the ground from TWO failures, one of which actually occurred with the last Titan launch, is hardly reaching the point of absurdity. It's what risk calculation is all about.
Fiction comes from things like warp drive, time travel, hyperdrive, stasis, and so on.
THAT's the stuff of movies. Accident strings consisting of TWO events, one of which occurred with the last Titan and the other of which requires only the most simple of failure analysis to admit it's possible, is well away from movie fiction. You have no legs left to stand on. Your scientists are corrupt, or you don't have any. Your morals are bankrupt, or you don't have any.
