@60sRefugee The Sunbird engines use #helium3. #PulsarFusion’s design is in the third phase of its development, with the ambitious aim of testing #Sunbird technology in-orbit in 📆 2027. Sunbirds shall be permanently stationed in low-Earth orbit, where they would attach to spacecraft leaving our atmosphere and propel them at unprecedented speeds toward far-off destinations, such as Mars https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/fusion-rockets-could-theoretically-cut-our-travel-time-to-mars-in-half-this-uk-startup-wants-to-give-it-a-try-180986455

How about a side mount in space nuclear ☢️ #SRB for #Spacex #Starship!

No ~14 refuelings required 😅

15 TIMES faster than Nuclear Rockets! Pulsar Fusion 🇬🇧 Sunbird Fusion Drive! https://youtu.be/G-1YFNUv1m8?feature=shared

#Space 🌌 is a far more logical, sensible place to do #fusion, because that’s where it wants to happen anyway. In 📆 2027, we’re going to send a small part of #Sunbird in #orbit. The first #functional Sunbird will be ready four to five years later. Sunbird could deliver #cargo to #Mars 🔴 in under six months https://edition.cnn.com/science/nuclear-powered-rocket-pulsar-space-spc/index.html

A #DirectFusionDrive* could propel a #spacecraft to #Mars 🔴 in two months. For comparison, it took #NASA’s Perseverance rover about seven months to reach the Red Planet. https://payloadspace.com/helicity-raises-5m-for-in-space-fusion-propulsion/

Exhaust speeds are calculated to be roughly one-thousand times that of a #HallEffectThruster https://www.space.com/nuclear-fusion-breakthrough-spacetravel
