Go to Mars within 3 days

Instead of taking seven months to reach Mars nowadays, in the future humans can reach this planet within 3 days, thanks to a "super space" engine that the US Government is studying. assist.

In other words, a spacecraft equipped with this type of engine can fly at a speed of 5,573,611km / h (in the case of Mars being far away from Earth - 401,300,000 km). Meanwhile, the fastest aircraft speed is currently 11,200 km / hour, the record held by NASA's ultrasonic still X-43A.

The motive was sketched in principle but was based on a controversial theory of the structure of the universe. It works by creating a magnetic field so large that the magnetic field will create a gravitational field and lead to spacecraft repulsion.

In addition, if the magnetic field is large enough, the spacecraft will travel in a different direction, where the speed of light is faster. Therefore, the spacecraft can achieve incredible speed. Turning off the magnetic field will cause the engine to reappear in our current dimension.

Future exploration of Mars

The US Air Force is very interested in this idea and scientists from the Department of Energy said they could conduct testing if the theory was proven correct. Currently the US Department of Energy has a device called Z Machine, which can create the kind of magnetic field needed to propel the engine.

Prof. Jochem Hauser of the University of Applied Sciences (Germany) is one of the scientists who came up with the idea. Previously he was the head of the aerodynamic group at the European Space Agency. He said if all goes well, such an engine could be tested in about five years.

Prof. Hauser added that this engine will take spacecraft to other solar systems, such as bringing people to a star 11 years from Earth within 80 days. NASA contacted him and this week he will meet US Air Force officials to discuss in more detail the super-space engine.
