I've just watched the first episode of four. Two more are also available and I'll look at those tomorrow perhaps.

Premise: accident on the ISS, something collides with it during an experiment that resembles the creation of a Bose-Einstein condensate. Damage, fire, fatal injuries, emergency evacuation, desperate but methodical fight for survival, and so forth. Judging by the trailer, lots of Philip K Dickery meets Scandi noir ensues in the next episodes, which appear to be set entirely on Earth.

I think it's worth mentioning because the research into the ISS has been extraordinary and the visual design is excellent and real Newtonian physics applies. As for the quantum physics, it's probably woo.

Hell, even accurate QM sounds like woo.
 
In terms of the Discovery from 2001: It was supposed to be nuclear, right (NUC)?

While it looked a bit spindly for NTR (not much in the way of tankage)---perhaps one could retcon it being anti-matter spiked?
You would need less in the way of reaction mass.

I suggest that because of the image here:

You might say each of Discovery's spinal segments was something similar to this perhaps.
 
so far i know has U.S.S. Discovery three nuclear gas core engines
means the Fission material is in gas form and heat the Hydrogen to ISP of 100000 sec.
