could science fiction become science reality?
You may or may not be aware of some of the amazing new prototypes NASA has tested. Currently as most people are aware, we have been bound by the solar system (at least physically anyway). And of course there have been shows like Star Trek and others that portray advanced systems that seem to defy the physics we understand. And in this video they take a look at some incredible new thrusters:
This is space travel as we know it, but chemical rockets aren’t going to cut it for long-haul missions to Mars or beyond. To really get away from Earth, astronauts will need something faster, lighter and longer-lasting.
One option is ion thrusters. These are great for long-duration flights. They use 10 times less fuel than chemical rockets to go the same distance, but they don’t provide nearly as much thrust — so the trip takes longer.
With current ion drives, it would take more than a year to get a six-person crew from Earth to Mars.
Let’s watch some of these awesome engines in the video on page 2

Ben March, the former director of skunkworks was once quoted saying. We now possess the technology to take ET home not within lifetimes but within days. It would take an act of God to get these projects out of the black books to benefit mankind.

Helium Infusion Engine. Helium is the 2nd most abundant gas in the Universe. It is Inert. Most difficult to liquify. Gold standard. An engine that utilise advanced technology to infuse helium from the surrounding – converted it to a medium as a propulsion – would be perfect for spacecraft travelling in deep space. We have the technology to infused carbon dioxide and water from the atmosphere. Infusing helium from the atmosphere should not be difficult. Human are incapable of comprehending and accepting toroid propulsion or advanced technologies in electromagnetism.
Hope sooner than later!
