NASA-funded pulsed plasma rocket concept aims to send astronauts to Mars in 2 months

NASA is funding development of a new rocket called the Pulsed Plasma Rocket (PPR) that could drastically reduce travel time to Mars. The PPR uses nuclear power to generate high-impulse plasma thrust. This would make it far more efficient than current chemical rockets. Developers claim the PPR could cut a round-trip journey between Earth and […]
