Pulsar Fusion, a British startup, is developing the Sunbird rocket that utilizes nuclear fusion for propulsion, aiming to significantly cut travel time to Mars by half. The company asserts that space is an ideal environment for fusion to occur, which is driven by the same process that powers stars. While the technology is still theoretical, Pulsar aims to achieve fusion in orbit by 2027. If successful, the project could revolutionize solar system travel and pave the way for more sustainable energy sources beyond Earth.
Pulsar Fusion's Sunbird rocket might halve travel time to Mars using nuclear fusion as propulsion, a major leap in space travel capabilities.
