Mars in three days? NASA touts new propulsion system
 

With all the talk of one day launching a human mission to Mars, it still would take upwards of six months to reach the Red Planet.

 

But NASA researchers are working on new laser technology that could allow a craft to reach Mars in as little as three days. Known as photonic propulsion, the system would works by using lasers to propel a giant sail.  Rather than photons from the Sun’s rays, the system would get a boost from Earth-based lasers, according to ScienceAlert.

Provided your head is still intact.
I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Somewhat OT but I hope there are huge gains in the space tourism industry in the next few decades. I really want to float around in space one good time during my lifetime.
