Recently, Musk and NASA announced the latest research on the innovation of light engines, but until now many people think that such research may violate the laws of physics, musk may be using his unparalleled brain hole to lead the development of space exploration technology
Mars colonization plan The most important part of this is the means of transport, Musk has said that we must know how to transport goods and humans, although the Earth is very far from Mars, but the distance is actually not fixed, the nearest time is 54 million kilometers, taking the James Telescope as an example, its current position is about 160 kilometers away from the Earth orbit, reaching this distance after a month
Musk's spacecraft is much faster than it is, it is expected to take 5 months to reach Mars, considering the long cycle of the spacecraft has a variety of sports facilities, in order to reduce muscle damage, Musk is in a variety of details to improve his spacecraft
NASA has cooperated with Musk many times, for example, Musk has used his spacecraft to deliver supplies and personnel for the International Space Station, and NASA has also quietly invested in Musk's starship
According to the report, the new spacecraft developed in cooperation will use a high-speed light engine, and once successfully developed, space travel may be unimpeded, and it will not require any fuel except for its speed
However, in 1970, some people have proposed the idea of no propellant, that is, to convert centrifugal force into linear motion, in 2000, british scientist Roger Schauer also proposed EM drive (capture microwaves into power), but this is only the theory because it violates the law of conservation of kinetic energy, many scientists at that time thought it was impossible
Musk's new flash engine, also known as the spiral engine, is so fast that it can theoretically reach 300 million meters per second, and even the distance to Mars can be reached in only ten minutes, and such a proposal has also been endorsed and supported by NASA
If an astronaut embarks on an interstellar journey, what he sees will be a darkness, time will seem to stand still, and only various beams of light will appear around the spacecraft, because it is too fast
