Photonic Laser Propulsion to send a 100 kg vehicle to Mars in 3 days and to get to wafercraft to 30% of the speed of light

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, space travel

Philip Lubin describes his appraoch to achieving laser driving spacecraft propulsion in the near term.

100kg robotic craft could be sent to Mars in 3 days.
1kg could go overnight to Mars.
50–100 GW could send a wafercraft to 30% of the speed of light and i would involve 10 minutes.
