Interplanetary Nuclear Fusion Rockets, A Mini-Documentary | AsteronX In the 40’s it was thought that humankind would move out into and conquer space, commercializing it—eventually leading to routine flights around the solar system and even beyond. The science fiction of the day portrayed such a grand and awe-inspiring future, from Buck Rodgers, to Isaac Asimov’s Galactic Empire and Foundation novels, to the German science-fiction series Perry Rhodan—stories that the creators of Star Trek and Star Wars grew up with and were inspired by. As the Star Trek and Star Wars, that we all know and love, were inspired by these stories of atomic-rocketships, if we want a future anything like these loved works of fiction—excluding the faster-than-light drives for moment—we will need atomic propulsion.

Return to Antimatter-Catalysed Fusion As a final note, let’s supose that a new fusion engine was developed that is capable of taking off from the ground without spraying out deadly neutron radiation. If SpaceX’s BFR were re-designed to utilize such engines, perhaps a manned Mars mission could be achieved sooner… We want to thank & give credit to the following: Our Patrons SpaceX for the use of their image Winchell Chung of Atomic Rockets (projectrho.com) for the use of his information & images Wikipedia for the use of their articles & images NASA for the use of their images & videos Audiojungle.net for the use of their music: Song – Epic Hero Song – Epic Hero version 2 Song – The Grand Fairytale Adventure Song – Michael Jorns Epic Theme 3 Aleksander Ryszka via Sounds4media.com for the use of his music: Song – Introduction-full length track Kevin MacLeod of Incompetech for the use of his music: Song – Peaceful Desolation Song – Send for the Horses

Using quantum mechanics and tests like the double-slit experiment, he argues that consciousness creates the universe and not the other way around.

Visit our sponsor, Skillshare: https://skl.sh/isaac4 Drones are becoming more common for military, commercial, and recreational purposes, today we will explore how these will impact us in the near future and far, for peace and warfare, on Earth and in the void of space. We will also examining the fundamental differences in the problems and challenges drones represent compared to more mentally sophisticated artificial intelligences or robots.

Elon Musk, founder of Spacex wants to build a Mars city. The SpaceX currently working on the Starship to send the humans to the red planet. SpaceX Starship is critical to these plans. This is a prototype of the reusable vehicle that SpaceX hopes to one-day use to transport up to 100 people to destinations including the Moon and Mars, with a Raptor engine instead of the rocket propellant used for the Falcon 9’s Merlin engines. That’s important because, SpaceX Raptor engines burn methane and oxygen – both chemicals Musk believes humans will be able to establish propellant plants and create fuel to power a return voyage to Earth. In this Video Engineering Today will discuss Mars orbital synchronizations. What is it? Why Elon musk thinks self-sustaining city on Mars only could possible taking this orbital synchronizations? So, Let’s get into details. #EngineeringToday #SpaceX #SpaceXMarsMission

In this alternate history President Nixon authorizes NASA to shoot for Mars, but only using Apollo hardware and other hardware available at the time.
