THE MILLION MILE PER HOUR SPACECRAFT !!!

(I decided this deserves a separate post. I also added to it...)

THE MILLION MILE PER HOUR SPACECRAFT !!!


A separately funded project, with hundreds of billions of dollars as
necessary, to develop a spacecraft that will:


ACCELERATE AT A CONSTANT 1G TO A CRUISING SPEED OF ONE MILLION MPH !


(You reach 1 million mph in about 14 - 15 hours at one G.)


With sufficient research into nuclear and possibly even antimatter
propulsoin, this can be done.


We are never going to see humans go further across the Solar System
than Mars without it!


The Worlds of Jupiter and Saturn and beyond BECKON US!


We don't want to go?

ADDENDUM: The Orion Project (Acceleration by repeated nuclear
explosions) would be one way. Seems too "contraptionistic" to me, but
if there were no other way...

Many ideas are out there about new propulsion techniques, nuclear and
others. Please excuse the following:

Hitler ordered that the V2 would carry 1 ton of explosives. Nixon
ordered that the space shuttle would have solid rocket boosters.
Please ignore politics and other horrible things, here; my point is:

Pres. or Congress MANDATES 1G, 1 Millon MPH. Funds it! Then it is
done!
