This Thruster can Propel a Spacecraft Almost Indefinitely

Ion thrusters create small thrust levels in comparison to conventional chemical rockets, but achieve high specific impulse. They could be practical in the va...

Thank you for sharing this New accomplishment MSgt (Join to see)!!! 25 times faster than the speed of sound! WOW! That tallies out to 19181.725 MPH!!! It is new, but when I read how it reaches these speeds I am totally amazed, but don't think I would want to be a test pilot in the early stages of testing...LOL! It is a phenomenal step in improving spacecraft speed...but we need a much higher level for interplanetary travel on a regular basis... Here is one method of space engine that is being tested... https://youtu.be/N6lPlyMUtf4
