Hello. Several years ago I learned that the trip to Mars would be a one-way journey. Conventional rockets cannot carry enough fuel to make a round trip. In fact, at time of launch 80-90% of the mass of a conventional rocket is fuel!

I decided to see if I could come up with a concept to provide a round trip. I know, it sounds like a fool’s errand. Nevertheless, I decided to give it a go.

It was quickly apparent that nuclear electric power was the energy source to use. It powers nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers with mega-power for extended periods of time. What was needed was a propulsion system that converts electricity to motion.

After trying dozens of designs, experiments and prototypes, surprisingly and by the grace of God, one worked.

The next step is to put together a team of engineers to scale up to a commercial product. If you would like to help revolutionize space travel, click the button!
