Can't believe mars is beating earth for a rocket to itself
lol
I'm not that surprised by how quick it'll get there... 😂
Not many mistakes with this channel, surprising when it happens.
That’s a gimmick RUclipsrs uses to increase engagement metrics. And I’m here for it, obv.
@@raffaeledivora9517 There's a catch though... You need actual Martians to build the rocket, but as long as one is standing on the planet's surface, they win :)
I love how fast everything is going!
Literally
yeah, and I think it's not completely impossible future millioniare will be able to go walk on the moon, Maybe even Us!
0:15 ....MARS has revealed their latest new power rocket design?! 😆😆😅😃😃
Wow... We somehow totally missed that. Long weekend or something
@@TheSpaceRaceYT I’m not saying it was aliens… but it was aliens 🤔
The MCRN is building a better tomorrow.
Would you like to know more?
@@MrFF432 STARSHIP TROOPERS REFERENCEE!!1111 (tbh i think we gonna build actual spaceship for The USSF
Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume
Dance Dance :-D
its so cool seeing other space agencies like isro and jaxa stepping up there presence in space seems like its only ever been the domain of a select few countries but that finally seems to be changing and i for one cant wait to see what's in store
That's the sort of thinking that opens up the solar system.
Praying everyday that the Epstein drive becomes reality! 🤞🏻
@@lilorange3647 Probably not since while based in real science, the Epstein Drive is far more effective than anything possible with Fusion. The Rocinante can easily pull 5.5 Megameters Per Second of Delta V. You can't really get that much Delta V without Antimatter.
However, even the more plausable 100-300 Km per second of Delta V from high end projected Fusion Engines would be infinitely better than the Chemical Rockets of today.
Very cool stuff. At 66 yrs old, I hope I live to see some of this come to reality. "This IS the Space Race."
They could use the PUFF to send cargo loads to Mars and park them in orbit or at the target site. Any trip there will require hundreds of tons of infrastructure orientated cargo. Material and equipment that will require minimal shielding.
Maybe it would make more sense to reserve this hardware for time-critical missions, such as astronaut transport. Cargo can take the slower, less shielded bus
Best space news channel,very informative and inspiring.thank you very much for such update...
I remember watch the Apollo missions as a kid. I hope the kids today get to finally get out there. We have to put the darkness behind us and move forward into the future.
5:26 Anthena = antenna.
embarrassing honestly.
2:00 how exactly do lasers inject neutrons?
Using neutrons from god 😂
This is some of the best content on the platform. Thank you.
Make a littler larger version while simultaneously creating AI to reach and survey the outer solar system. You could double the amount of the propulsion rate and get there quicker while not worrying about human risk.
1:14 hey I recognize that from one of the cards in Terraforming Mars
I'm genuinely captivated by the depth and brilliance of your content. It's truly remarkable, and words hardly do justice to its magnificence. However, if I may offer a humble suggestion, I believe enhancing the visual elements-graphics and effects-would complement the exceptional caliber of your work. The current visuals, while charming, might inadvertently undersell the sophistication and maturity of your content. Upgrading them could further elevate the immersive experience for your audience, aligning perfectly with the profound essence of your creations.
I’m confused, it’s this a ChatGPT written or just a really nice dude in his basement.
Either way, I'll take the compliment
Homie must’ve wrote this in times new Roman font for an essay
@@ThouSirKingsly well my english it's not that good so i write it in my mother tongue language and translate it that's it .
How exactly do lasers, which are just coherent photons, "inject neutrons" into the stream of Uranium? I saw another You tuber say that, so where are you guys getting this?
I paused the video so I could read the stuff on the screen, and I see no mention of "lasers".
It says that there is a massive current at 2 million amps at 2 million volts, caused by conduction when the bullet touches the anode target. That current passes through a Lithium outer shell of the "bullet" and magnetic forces from the massive current compress the uranium to critical mass, which generates fission, and massive heating in the chain reaction, and the heat creates fusion conditions for the Deuterium. The fusion generates more neutrons, which increase the fission reaction, which boosts the fusion, and continue in a self reinforcing chain reaction until nuclear fuel is fully consumed.
The resulting plasma is contained and forced rearward by a magnetic nozzle produced by giant magnetic coils.
All very plausible. However, the power requirements must be massive, so NASA needs to step up their nuclear power generating systems for spacecraft.
The other thing such a system adds to safety of a Mars mission is additional abort modes.
Well it feels like the company watched 3 Body Problem and made the design
IM2 will probably fall over as IM1 did. What it needs is retro jets 1/4 way down to stabilise the machine on landing
I first learned about this type of propulsion by reading the book, "Foot Fall", great book BTW. I was fascinated by the Orion system from then on.
I love this channel and watch everything you put out. Since I couldn't find any other private way to contact you, I'm posting here. There were MULTIPLE spelling errors in this video. I hate to be that guy, but if you want to be taken seriously, you have to be able to spell "antenna", "ascender", etc. Take care and keep up the great work.
I don't know how comfortable a ride on this pulsating rocket will be 😬
Yeah, it might give you a "throbbing headache".
How many G's of acceleration would astronauts feel per pulse, I wonder.
@@dirtypure2023 none because space has no gravity so no G's
@@Birdsarecool14 Acceleration in zero G is still imparted to the subject whom is accelerating.
Nice video as always! Honestly, you have always been a great teacher to me
Will ISRO be the next country to have people land on the moon? I can't get over how well ISRO has progressed at space activities.
It's a pity that you didn't mention the late Freeman DYSON as a footnote in this new Orion-type project.
This is not the worst channel for that kind of historical "oversight", but many do fail to reveal or recognize the accomplishments of the past. They hate the Apollo moon landings for example cuz it was an all mostly white male American accomplishment, that will live on forever in history. :D
The "Scottie Dog" and any of the Space X fan children are perhaps the worst offenders, in my opinion, they all think they have just invented everything new in space, but we all know they haven't, and of course they just keep on RUD'ing, to our great and delicious delight! LOL LOL LOL :D
Perhaps, but about 53 exoplanets have detected to have potential "Dyson spheres" or something like that, according to recent JWST observations, so his great name lives on, irregardless (yes, I know it's not a word, but I use it just to troll you all). LOL ;D
Thanks for this 🚀
How does it slow down when approaching Mars?
By rotating and then firing the engine the other way
Right, because what could possibly go wrong?
Still better than the Orion Project.
A lot more than with sending humans to another planet anyways?
Best Channel for space news but videos are much delayed and not frwque😢
You do really good research.
Where you got that presentation about pulsed fusion rockets? I am space fan and want to check it out. Can you send the link?
Sounds like my saucer drone 2024
Good review of current developments
Thanks so much for creating and sharing this informative video. Great job. Keep it up.

Yes water is an excellent shield from cosmic and X rays from space ,plus about 3 feet of the stuff will do
Plus it goes down good when thirst hits on Mars-
Bro, I can feel the ChatGPT in your script. It doesn't feel as natural as your previous news segments. If you're not using it then I am sorry for assuming.
How would the nuclear ship Slow down? once it reaches mars.
There are four options:
1) turn around and fire the engines to slow down;
2) get captured by Mars' gravity using multiple fly-bys;
3) aero-braking using Mars' thin atmosphere;
4) some combination of the above
:)
Well, the fact that NASA is developing it, don’t expect it to come online and actually work any sooner than 2134.
Nice video as always but need some QA Review before publishing... "Verifcation" and wrong transition screen for ISRO news... Anyway appreciate your content
Could you please cover Helicity Space please? I'd love to hear your take on their fusion engine concept. Great content as always.
It is neutrons that split U-atoms. The splitting atoms release more neutrons and heat.
Finally we can get 2001 A Space Odyssey
Wasn't there a show on discovery named Howe brothers or something that showed building some track one person tactical vehicles. Guess that blew up in to this.
Good report, love the latest concept nuke pulsed engine, good for faster travel to Mars and beyond, which is good for crew's protection/health, both of body and mind!! Call it the son or daughter or whatever of the old Orion nuclear bomb concept of the 1960's. ;D
So, Intuitive Machines lander #1 failed mainly cuz it tipped over, upon touch down, maybe due to a too high center of gravity cuz it was/is "tall and skinny", as you mentioned in the description of it. Their "solution" for the next lander #2 success is a bunch of upgrades for the scientific instruments and communications aspects of the thing, but not addressing the suspected cause of the first failure, i.e. the basic "architecture" of the space craft. Good luck with that. That sounds a bit "Counter-Intuitive to me!! :D LOL
Ah, yes India has great plans, we wish them well. There is room for everyone with the means in space because, as Douglas Adams said in his great sci fi book, THHGTTG, words to the effect that, "Space is big, really big! You may think it is a long way down to the chemists, but that is just peanuts compared to space!" LOL ;D
IM2 improvements: more obvious "remove before flight" tags.
A nuclear reactor that superheats an inert propellant for thrust seems much more viable to me, on the short term. With the right propellant, a huge specific impulse can be reached this way.
Not nearly as high as this as it could never run as hot as an actual nuclear detonation.
Imagine selling the orion idea to the exec board
!It's very simple ...you basically throw very small nuclear bombs out of the back......."
"Excuse me....I think I misheard...did you say 'nuclear bombs' ...?"
"Yes?!"
Is the mechanism by which fission reactions will drive fusion reactions similar to the process that some people feared might ignite the atmosphere during the Trinity test in July 1945? The atmospheric ignition idea was based on a chain reaction of two nitrogen-14 nuclei and a hydrogen nucleus fusing over and over again. The Trinity device was nowhere near powerful enough to trigger this, but is it the basis of the engine that was described in the video? Thank you.
What’s an Anthena? @ 05:20
Super Stoked for India to join into the space frontier. One of the biggest nations on earth, it's right for them to be a part of the space frontier. :)
Hope they're successful in getting their ambitious plans off the ground, and landing on the moon/mars.
What is the progress on phase 2 on Mars how oxygen tanks holding up.
I have trouble telling the company press release material from what's original. You do a good job reading nonetheless.
so, how to apply to be MCRN citizen?
Does anyone know how many G's of acceleration the astronauts would feel per PUFF on the nuclear rocket?
not much, it is very weak but efficent
Happy for India to do what we never tried to pretty cool I think 🇬🇧 ✊ 🇮🇳
What does radiation do to water exactly? What is produced in any collisions with water? Anyone?
Sounds like a good concept. With a lot of money it could be made realistic in one century or so.
What you failed to mention is a true fission engine. One where a near-conventional nuclear reactor is used to heat liquid hydrogen to high temperatures and pressures limited only by current materials science. The H2 is then exhausted through a standard issue vacuum nozzle. How long would it take to develop this? The US designed and built example engines in the 1960's.
Water is extremly heavy !
Argon is not !
So why not use Argon, it is also 100x lighter !
Mike.
Need the water for the drinking-water part of the mission-
How many Gs will crew feel for each pulse?
I dream of big things, I dream of fusion.
Would love to hear your review of the book ‘A City On Mars’
This has been a fav channel of mine since video 1...well other then mine lol
How many lunar samples do we need? It’s land a man and put a base on the moon.
Assuming the PPR is active by the time SpaceX Starship is ready, Starship can carry all the freight and the PPR the crews.
Good news to humanity, to reach faster (within couple of hours) on lunar surface with advanced spacecrafts and make it habitable very soon and make permanent space station/ base for future space travels.
Proxima b could be visited by a nuclear fission spacecraft in 42 years; the fission spacecraft would travel at 10% of the speed of light
1:52 100Hz ? 6000 nuclear explosions a minute?? Is that right?? Wow, that seems really ambitious or a bit vaporwareish.
now wait a second, isn't there a some issues with that design of engine mostly the pulsing, as described that would be like a monster truck with one 8-liter cylinder and no flywheel, when you hit the accelerator any humans going to feel that pulse. It would feel like accelerating then orbiting every second for 1 hour and 20 minutes they'll be sick. Of course there's ways around that problem, like firing off so fast it wouldn't be notably, or splitting the work among 3 or 4 barrels like a Gatling gun, both adding their share of complexity and problems. But this is not something you want to get wrong, we know what happens when two isotopes collide at high speed. I'm not trying to be negative, but I wouldn't expect to see a working probe for another 5 to10 years.
For a trip to Mars they really need to build a large spaceship in orbit so the astronauts don't have to travel in a capsule or cramped space.
THIS!!!
And give the contract to Lockheed Skunkworks, not ULA!!!!
wouldnt something like that have to be constructed in space?
“Mars has revealed their latest nuclear-powered rocket design.”
- This one kinda scared me for a second. 😳👽🛸
I am glad that other people are finding out about the old project Orion. It seemed really promising but was shelved by the Kennidy administration because he was worried that putting bombs in space would escalate the problems with the USSR. The developers of this project paired with the military in an effort to get president Kennidy to green light it. Saying that it could be used as a weapon and even use it's own blast shield to defend itself from hostile fire. Which ironically led to it's downfall. Looks like SpaceX showing them up got NASA to finally dust-off this project. I just hope that they don't give it to break everything Boeing. This system has so much power that the developers joked about installing those old heavy barber chairs in it. Because it has so much lift. The biggest concern about this project was the amount of radiation that would be coming off of the rocket in Earth's atmosphere was dangerous. However, it would make a great rocket in space. So long as we deliver it by other means. This is great news. You made my day!
Simplified answer, fusion reactor with electromagnetic directed fusion. Actually realistic for a change
I just heard about it a day or two ago now this is something I'm excited
Mars hasn’t revealed its newest rocket design… but NASA did.
Looks legit
I wonder if micro size astroid hit that rocket?
nothing
Nah, sounds really ineficient. The major energy release is the heat of fission and later fusion. On earth the heat is released into the atmosphere and results in a massive shockwave. In space your talking about the release of subatomic particles and radiation and a little bit of mass. Not much thrust from that!
Okay, great. We've moved on from Tricycle to Bicycle with training wheels. Maybe
Inner Solar System worthy. BFD.
Wake me when we have Warp Drive to reach the stars.
PUFF! So awesome name :D
en 2060 tendremos estas naves
747 with central locking
NASA finally caught up with nuclear technology.
no other space program has nuclear technology?
Honestly they could probably do it faster if they made a ship that they fuel up in orbit
Shag Wellington says that they should name the first PUFF ship... MAGIC DRAGON>
Buzz Killington agrees.
Yes, and the first mission might be commanded by a Capt. Jackie Paper!! LOL ;D
How you slowing down when you get there, pipe dreams
That tip over was so embarrassing wasn't it
4g cellular network....I cannot even get a mobile signal where I live??
Phase 2:Try to strengthen the rocket so as to not blow it to smithereens.
We should have had this tech up and ready to go decades prior but some one had to focus the nation's resources on a certain war
no we haven't
Great! Nuclear is the way in space as its already a wasteland and solar just can’t provide enough oomph to do any of the really cool stuff
mars has a space agency?
Thus, sustentable presence by 2055 now....? After all the testing.....
How certain can you be that this isn't all an illusion created with the aid of advanced artificial intelligence? ❤ Wrench in the Works! ❤

Why are we shipping up containers of methane and water in tanks for future missions
Go, go Johnny, go go go! Dpace is rockin'!!!🚀👍
So basically we're gonna ride giant rail gun firing nukes all the way to Mars. Metal 🤘
There's no way we just gonna try this on sea level think this a idea for like we already in space right
A moon base to launch nuclear powered rockets would be less red tape and time consuming and public outcry.
