Video: Feasibility of Interstellar Travel and Nature of Existence
November 29, 2010 1 Comment
As we know that interstellar travel is more difficult than one can dream. Here is a video reflecting some new projects that could be hailed as having potential to sustain exploration on exoplanet.
The nature of Existence
Search for habitable planets and Alien life

That was a wonderful lecture on the future of deep space propulsion systems and their technical limitations. Anyway, one idea I already send all over the Internet is, what if we could add laser beam ‘repercussion’ to that Xenon Plasma Drive? That is, when DARPA was experimenting with laser beam rifles, they found that if the laser hit a mirror directly a mile away, the laser beam would physically recoi or ‘repurcussion’ throughout it length and knock the laser rifle out of the hands of the soldier using it. So, what if we could frequency-synch such an optical laser beam like that in a hollow ing around the expelled Xenon gas ions of that Plasma Drive, encasing the jetstream of Xenon ions, so that the ionized gas is propelled a very long way VERY FAST, to give that propulsion system unprecidented speed and longterm fuel efficiency? I don’t know if that would actually work, because I’m not half as smart as I like to think I am, and the real experts on the Internet didn’t bother to reply.
