Re: 'Pometheus' to Triple the Speed of Spacetravel (Paul)

Im not sure how they going to work this.
Their "Mars Lander", lands on Mars, leaving the primary nuke engined rocket in Mars orbit, ready to return (everyone?) to Earth?
On the way back....do they sling the nuke engine into space, and glide on in, to Earth? (To ensure there wont be a nuke engine crash to contaminate us?)
Or float the nuke engine down to Mars, for use as power point? But that would mean using a chemical rocket to return to Earth?
Anyone any ideas?
