Laser Propulsion System By NASA Aims to Get to Mars in 3 Days

At first glance it sounds a bit out there and they agree as well, although have this to say:

It sounds pretty far-fetched, but in a video for NASA 360, Lubin explains that the technology is very much readily available, and that the system could easily be scaled up.

“There are recent advances that take this from science fiction to science reality,”Lubin explains. “There is no known reason why we can not do this.”

Could this be possible or is it too unusual and too far into the future?

Feel free to comment with your ideas!

    Justin Bordigan had the right answer. The whole fusion issue.. if Germany and China are working w it right now. If would be a safe bet to say we have it aswell. Oil companies are in a decline. Get ready for the news.
