Direct Fusion Drive to Mars: The Starfire Architecture for Fast Human Transit - Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference Princeton Satellite Systems’ Direct Fusion Drive could allow Mars trips in as little as 64 days, reducing radiation exposure on human crews.

Sixty-four days to Mars isn’t a slogan—it’s a design constraint disguised as a destination. In Layla Mohsen’s telling, PSS Direct Fusion Drive isn’t chasing speed for bragging rights; it’s chasing speed because deep space is a slow poison. www.altpropulsion.com/direct-fusio...
