Fusion powered rocket for faster interplanetary voyages

University of Washington researchers and scientists at MSNW, a Redmond-based space-propulsion company, are building components of a fusion-powered rocket that could accelerate interplanetary traveling. The researchers claim that once perfected, fusion-powered rockets could enable 30- and 90-day expeditions to Mars. That could lead to significantly lower traveling time, costs, as well as crew’s health risks…. »
