Headline: British Space Firm Begins Construction Of Nuclear Fusion Rocket Engine That Will Get Hotter Than The Sun
Caption: A nuclear fusion-based rocket engine that could exceed the temperatures of the Sun is being built. The creators - British aerospace company Pulsar Fusion - state the technology that will be used in its eight-metre rocket has the potential to allow humans to go into space at speeds of up to 500,000 miles per hour. This could result in halving the duration of a mission to Mars and reducing the flight time to Saturn from eight years to two. The company asserts that upon its launch in 2027, the fusion chamber will temporarily become the hottest location within the solar system. The researchers aim to achieve temperatures of several hundred million degrees during the final plasma shot in the chamber, surpassing the heat of the Sun.
