Department of Defense has stuff far advanced compared to any of the space agencies ... relying on stolen Nazi tech. Where do you think all those UFOs that started magically appearing right after WW2 came from?

Amazing development. 6 months to Mars was the ETA for Project Orion (the nuclear propulsion study from the 1950s) but this seems far safer than detonating nukes and riding the explosions on top of a lead pressure plate.

It's good that the UK is making the engine, but i guarantee its not a new concept and i bet versions are being worked on in America. Its a kind of advancement on ion drives.

NASA has been doing various types of propulsion research in house (Glenn, Marshall) to include plasma-powered (and even anti-matter).

A decade ago it was recommended that NASA turn heavily to developing such technology but the entrenched bureaucracy chose to stay with jobs first - thus, the re-invention of the launch vehicle wheel and a return to the Moon.

How many of you really think someone can sit strapped into a chair inside of a rocket traveling at such a speed for six entire months, having to piss and shit during that time?
People, wake up, we never even went to the Moon. Show me a video, or photo, of the entire planet earth that is NOT CBI, or an artist rendition of what the planet is thought to look like.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77125760


Why don't we feel Earth move? Earth moves very fast. It spins (rotates) at a speed of about 1,000 miles (1600 kilometers) per hour and orbits around the Sun at a speed of about 67,000 miles (107,000 kilometers) per hour. We do not feel any of this motion because these speeds are constant.

Brits build plasma-powered 100,000 MPH rocket engine halving Mars travel time

A PROTOTYPE of a British-built plasma-powered rocket engine which could propel spacecraft at 100,000mph, thus halving journey times to Mars, has been tested successfully in the UK.

...
Head of operations at Pulsar, Dr James Lambert added: “This first round of tests is designed to locate our concept in space design and explore state of the art electric propulsion.

“It included electrical and vacuum subsystem validation, as well as using a materials testing suite to establish flight parameters and minimum viable product specifications for the new generation of thruster engines.”

Conventional rockets have a maximum exhaust speed of around 40,000mph, meaning a journey to Mars, as envisaged by billionaire entrepreneur and would-be colonist Elon Musk, would take six months for a one-way trip.

The British aerospace sector was always on top. It will get better with Brexit without all the EU hurdles. They will be able to call on private investors to fund new innovative projects in new tech fields.

The Brit aerospace industry was sacrificed by the NWO to protect the US industry. We were too much of a threat.

Probably our best moment was collaborating with the French on Concorde. French technology has been hugely impressive and successful with the Mirage and Rafale lines.

More Anglo / Brit collaborations such as the Jaguar, would have taken over the world but the French took the baton and did very very well for themselves.

Now Britain only makes wings for Airbus and a share of the Typhoon. We can't even build our own platform to replace the Nimrod.
