Get to Pluto in weeks, not years
February 8, 2006
A veteran of the space industry, Paul Czysz, says in an interview with PhysOrg.com that with a renewed commitment to nuclear space propulsion, we could reach the edges of our solar system in weeks, instead of the nine or ten years it will take the recently launched New Horizons probe to get to Pluto. Czysz indicates that because of the degrading effects on the human body from long-term exposure to microgravity, the right nuclear powerplant, one which the Russians are already working on, is the only way humans will really be able to explore the solar system. Really an interesting read.
