Fusion powered spaceships https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNqXKvpDQRCzjJMBRfUdy2hw7SkkXvj2ox6AtjR5wSToN/image.png It is believed that in a few decades we could already have spaceships with nuclear fusion engines, in 2040 or 2050, which would make trips to Mars much cheaper or we could reach Jupiter, explore the solar system, we could explore with these spaceships, with nuclear fusion engines. It is believed that with a nuclear fusion engine you could reach between 5 and 10% of the speed of light, it would take you about 45 years to reach Centauri approach, which is 4.3 light years away, but you have to accelerate and then brake and you cannot accelerate suddenly because you would turn into mush due to the G forces and the braking also has to be progressive, so it takes about 45 years to reach that planet Centauri approaches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyNWNvIEw1A It is believed that by 2040 there would already be nuclear fusion engines, and there is a real proposal for Pulsar Fusi
