☆ Elon Musk, eat your heart out: A new spaceflight startup wants to use a wild new technology to cut the time it takes to fly to Mars in half
  + stars: | 2023-07-20 | by ( Cork Gaines | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A new aerospace company is building a rocket that could cut the travel time to Mars in half. UK-based aerospace company Pulsar Fusion is working to build a rocket powered by nuclear fusion that could reach speeds of 500,000 mph, the company announced. With current technology, NASA estimates it would take seven months to reach Mars, so about 30% of the total "safe" trip time would be wasted in transit. In response to a story about using nuclear rockets to reach Mars in 100 days, he said it was something NASA should be exploring, calling it a "great idea." Pulsar Fusion is looking to have a test firing of a rocket toward the end of this decade.
