It pretty much is if we ever want to go into space. To get from point A to point B over interplanetary distances in a reasonable amount of time, you need engines with power outputs on the scale of nuclear weapons to do it. Let's not forget that with current technology an orion drive is the most likely method for that and it used actual bombs for propulsion.
