"Revolutionary Fusion Rocket Under Construction, Set to Reach Mind-Blowing Speeds of 500,000 mph"

TL;DR Summary
British aerospace startup Pulsar Fusion is developing a fusion rocket that aims to cut the travel time to Mars in half by harnessing the power of nuclear fusion. By creating a fusion reaction that propels the spacecraft forward at speeds of 500,000 mph, Pulsar Fusion's ambitious goal is to send astronauts to Mars and beyond in weeks instead of months or years. The company has partnered with Princeton Satellite Systems for AI modeling and has begun constructing a fusion reaction chamber, with plans to achieve fusion temperatures by 2027. If successful, this technology could revolutionize space exploration.
