Would it be safe to assume that solid core nuclear rocket technology advances?

+0
−0

Solid Core Nuclear Thermal rocketry has existed for a while and I was thinking about using it as the primary propulsion in my setting. Now most Solid Core rockets still have fairly long transit times (Something like 3-4 months just to get to Mars, longer to get elsewhere). Would it be safe to assume technology has advanced enough to reduce travel times a bit, or is this the maximum performance? The reason I am looking into Nuclear Thermal is that I don't want full on torch-ships like the Orion running around, along with all their implications.
