Don't take every official announcement of any country at face value. Let's wait until the launch a geostationary satellite with the nuclear rocket before canceling the current plans.

[IIUC it's a missile that use the nuclear power to heat/accelerate the air. I guess it can be adapted to space with some tank with a gas to heat/accelerate, but I'm not a rocket scientist.]
