They are SERIOUSLY discussing this..
In 39 days this type of engine could get us to Mars. That sounds pretty cool and expensive but some think it is definitely worth it besides satisfying intellectual curiosity. But of course the first challenge is thrust. Current rocket engines that burn solid fuels are super powerful but likely could not get us to the red planet or other parts of the solar system with people in a reasonable time frame. However, this technique which is barely at the prototype phase has yielded some promising results.
Is this insane or what?
Let’s find out more about how this could work in the video on page 2

“Let’s look at more in the video on page two.”
Why not have it all on one page. As someone asked in another thread, “Do they get paid by the click or what?”
Mars? How about just a quick drive to the Mojave Desert? Pretty much the same experience except it’s a lot cheaper and you can breathe.
I hope the “Marsone” farce does not start using this info as their own,always quoting Elon Musk & his work,total non entity wonder how much the selection tests are going to cost each astranout
This is cool!
They get paid per ad you see in each page. That’s why you will see sites that have lists with each item being on it’s own page…more revenue for them with each page you visit; or use an ad blocker and they get nothing! Haha
I left as soon as I saw that garbage.

I’ll go! Don’t care if I am a space-janitor!
The next generation will do much better but they have a few things to work out first.
I’ll go!!!! My dream is to travel the universe, exploring different planets and species. If unclogging toilets on the mission flight gets my foot in the door, I’ll do it!
Nick Lacey it is almost here. Well, almost…
Lol
It would be really cool if they could do it in 38d 23h and 59m!
Star trek here we come. ..first step towards warp drives
“Ion drive” ? That shits old news
Once again Star Trek comes to life in today’s technology, can’t wait for the next phase in space travel ! Warp drive is just around the corner !
Old antigrav engines have made the trip in 2 hours
f**k that if just being a test subject ill do it!

Doubt it’ll happen but coolio if they do
Deflector dish and static warp bubble first than warp drive. No point in going faster than light if a piece of space dust can rip a hole through your vessel!! But indeed sir let us sally forth into the 23rd/24th century 🙂
This just in Trump is gonna build a wall on mars
