Mars in 7 Weeks?????

Hey Space Placers!

If this propulsion research is successful and lead to the ability to manufacture and use such technology, we could get to Mars in 7 weeks! It will be a long road to get from the drawing board to space however but the results and spin off knowledge gained in the process will be useful.
