TIE_Pilot

2 years of flight is a lot. We should review the plans and start the mission again. I would recommend installing the next-generation technologies of the future and interstellar technologies that would create a normal interplanetary ship with a nuclear (or thermonuclear) reactor and electro-propulsion engines (for example, VASIMR) and fly to Jool at least 100 days later. It is necessary to realize - I use ordinary rocket engines, you can lift the ship from the planet, accelerate to the moon and that's it. For long flight bolts, you need to use nuclear and electric engines. And he tried to create a giant giant heavy rocket, and eventually fly 2 years (and back all 4) https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/172026-131145151160-ksp-interstellar-extended-12016-support-thread/

Thanks for the answer. In general, it is now possible to say with confidence that the problems with the ignition and cooling of the engine will be resolved as the experience of “thermonuclear fusion” is gained. When it is possible to build a Daedalus (and this is clearly not before the 22-23 century), I am more than confident that everything will be fine. And maybe, by that time, people will create an engine on antimatter, and Daedalus will simply become unnecessary and obsolete

Good day. I will leave this post for FreeThinker, a man who, in my opinion, can be trusted with everything in the field of physics and space exploration. In short, when I read about the projects of interstellar ships on the Internet, I came across an article in which the author claimed that the fusion engine, which should be on Daedal or Longshot, is impossible because: (I quote) """Despite the thoughtfulness of the Longghot project and Daedalus in many details, it is impossible for one reason: to ignite the thermonuclear synthesis of deuterium with helium-3 using electron beams or lasers will not work. Therefore, the propulsion system based on the principle of Daedalus Icarus, will not work""" Is this really true, or is it just a personal opinion about some kind of pseudoscientific neuka? I am very excited and waiting. Because real projects of interstellar ships may not be possible .... Give the correct answer, please ...
