   shame they don’t know how to protect people from the radiation. Doesn’t matter how good the rockets are, we still can’t go places, can’t go to moon, can’t go to mars either.

   Holy shit. I heard of vasimr a few years ago, but I didn’t know it could cut down on travel times so much.

   This seems to be the best thing since sliced bread. Our government should get behind this and support it in any way they can. Keep in mind I didn’t say take it over I mean support it. Good for Nautel, keep up the good work!

    Everyone should pay for plasma rockets! Tax everyone!!! This is free market evilness! Plasma rockets should be public goods for SCIENCE!!!! Free market is evil and for profiteers, government is better and would never use plasma rockets for harm because WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT! WE THE PEOPLE!!!1

    If there was no wars or hatred and people were logical, there would be discoveries like this every hour.

    Couldn’t an Ion drive make the trip to Mars faster? Provided the ship didn’t have to turn around mid trip to decelerate?

    or a few minutes to get from NY to London. That’s if its feasible or wise to strap a rocket on a passenger aircraft. I’m not too sure about that one.
