Former American astronaut Franklin Chang-Diaz.
The launch of Plasma missiles has important implications for the scientific community to solve time constraints when using current chemical fuel rocket boosters, astronauts need to take about seven months Even 10 months can fly to Mars.
Franklin Chang-Diaz calculates the use of Plasma missiles that can make the spacecraft's speed up to about 198,000 km / h, which can take about 39 days from Earth to Mars.
In 2005, Franklin Chang-Diaz founded Ad Astra rocket company. The four-year plan for small-model Plasma missiles designed by Franklin Chang-Diaz will be first used in space and conducted experiments on the International Space Station.
