minus-square@Brainsploosh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish3•2 months agoThis worked, thank you. Article only says doubly efficient, and H2 to He3 reaction. To get to .9c we still need a couple million kg of fuel. Even .1c needs about 40 000 kg of fuel, which is doable, but probably unfeasible.
Still blocked, but thank you
