A Trip To Mars And Back To Take Five Hours

by Medindia Content Team on Jan 8 2006 4:06 PM

It may soon be possible to make a round trip to Mars in five hours time, instead of 2.5 years. The New Scientist magazine has revealed that the US military is exploring the possibility of Captain Kirk-style 'warp speed' using a concept called hyperdrive. The revolutionary form of propulsion can help them reach the moon in a matter of minutes.

The idea is to create an intense magnetic field that would produce an anti-gravity force and propel the craft faster through space.

The Star Trek-style flights, however, are still a long way from becoming fact.
