In other words, it could take humans to Mars in just 2-months.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-178813\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"PPR Final Render w music\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G7ix05OHB9A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"PPR Final Render w music\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G7ix05OHB9A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>How does it work? Plasma rockets essentially use electric fields to heat up a gas until it becomes super-hot plasma. This material is then expelled out the back of the rocket, providing thrust and propelling it forward. For comparison, a normal trip to Mars using current propulsion methods would take around nine months. This new method would reduce exposure to space radiation and microgravity, while also being able to transport much heavier spacecraft that would be capable of being properly shielded against galactic cosmic rays.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0BSRD2CXY\" data-aawp-product-id=\"119160\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"LEGO Technic NASA Mars Rover Perseverance Advanced Building Kit for Kids Ages 10 and Up NASA Toy with Replica Ingenuity Helicopter Gift for Kids Who Love Engineering and Science Projects 42158\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51QAPQzx3kL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"LEGO Technic NASA Mars Rover Perseverance Advanced Building Kit for Kids Ages 10 and Up, NASA Toy with...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            LEGO Technic NASA Mars Rover Perseverance Advanced Building Kit for Kids Ages 10 and Up, NASA Toy with&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>Feed a passion for science and technology \u2013 Kids can learn more about the challenges of space exploration with this LEGO Technic NASA Mars Rover&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Conduct a test flight \u2013 This advanced building kit for kids ages 10 and up includes a buildable toy version of NASA\u2019s Ingenuity helicopter, which&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>AR brings the mission to life \u2013 The accompanying augmented reality app experience lets kids dive into the details of the rover and its mission<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/12003341\/nasa-pulsed-plasma-rocket-mars.jpg\" alt=\"NASA Pulse Plasma Rocket Mars\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>These diverse, science fiction-like concepts represent a fantastic class of Phase II studies.
