Follow U.S. investment immigration and U.S. life news: Current technology requires astronauts about 500 days for a round trip to Mars, but U.S. scientists are developing a rocket powered by nuclear fusion technology that could shorten the round-trip time to about six months. They predict that within a few decades, nuclear fusion rockets will help humans conduct deep space exploration, such as missions to Mars.
Nuclear fusion refers to the reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei combine to release tremendous energy. The sun and stars emit light and heat because nuclear fusion reactions occur within them. Humans have used nuclear fusion to create hydrogen bombs.
According to a report by Space.com on the 7th, the U.S. space propulsion company MSNW recently presented the progress of nuclear fusion rocket development to NASA, stating that nuclear fusion rockets are not science fiction but are entirely achievable, with the underlying physics already proven in laboratories. Using nuclear fusion rockets to send humans to Mars within 90 days may be realized within a few decades.
