The NEW Mars Rocket revealed somehow 100x BETTER than SpaceX Starship NASA realized!
Hi guys, in today’s episode of Alpha Tech, we will discuss about the new rocket that uses new energy somehow better than SpaceX Starship in colonizing Mars and it even provides a faster and safer flight for this difficult mission, not only Mars but also many further celestial bodies in space.
Sound crazy, right?
So let’s jump right in and find out: What is that rocket and its energy source? Why this rocket is so much better than Starship? Would SpaceX want to use it in the future?

click bait
Maybe someday we will see a nuclear Starship. Or at least some variation on what we currently know as Starship.
I! CALL! CLICKBAIT!!! Fusion has always been "just over the horizon" and has not yet appeared.
welp …. time to dislike the video
unsubscribe
and ask youtube to not recomend me this channel ever again
After reading all the replies I know that this is click bait and I reject it. 12 days to mars ? Common now
Let's just skip the fact that you can't arrive at Mars doing 500k mph. As much time is spent in boosting must also be spent on deceleration. So there's that. How radioactive is the motor and/or exhaust? Will it pose the same threat as interstellar radiation or required additional shielding for the crew. Reminds me of the launch pits in Asimov's stories where atomic starships blasted off spewing deadly radiation
Ya right, but can NASA get their rocket up?🤣🥒
What an annoying click bait video. This channel normally had better videos than this.
This guy has no clue what he is talking about. He clearly doesn't understand the scientific concepts he's purporting can be used for spacecraft engines right now. Fusion is decades away and even then spacecraft fusion propulsion will be more decades away after that. This is so irritating that I've put this guy on my banned list!
I want a coal powered rocket. Yes, good old lignite straight out the back vaporized by fission derived heat. Yes, I am mocking this gum flapping content creator.
Dummes Kauderwelsch!
HUMANS SHOULD NOT LEAVE TILL WE PROOVE WE CAN LOOK AFTER OUR PRESENT HOME AND EACH OTHER
It seems to me fusion rockets engines are likely years in the future! Elon Musk is fully aware of nuclear energy for rocket engines. He is working on nuclear and other sources to power his rockets.
This is complete balloney.
We are decades away from working fusion reactors on Earth in stationary setups where weight doesn't matter.
Who the hell would allow an experimental, never-seen-working nuclear fission+fusion technology to be launched into the atmosphere where a possible nuclear fallout would be really catastrophic ?
Maybe in a century after fusion power plants proved themselves safe inn stationary setups.
Until then, we will stick to low-risk, working solutions like methane engines on Starship.
Bye bye now, can't stomach the 3rd grade titles. Blocked.
Vasimer from Ad Astra is an available solution today. The only thing limiting its application, is a large enough space based electrical power source. It can theoretically transport a crew to Mars in 39 days.
This story is repeat from 50 years ago. And not much closer today.
AI needs to plot a course using multiple loops around Earth and the moon to have gravity sling us to Mars much faster.
Then slow down with Mars and its moons.
All the while enjoying two starships tied nose to nose for centrifugal artificial gravity.
This is a large government program that will never get the billions of dollars required. Business case for Mars? There isn’t one. Who will pay for all this? Elon? I don’t think so. Mining asteroids could actually be lucrative. But Mars, funded face it by Congress… is dead
Let's keep pushing as a species, but be warned. The powers that be simply won't allow any 0 point energy so keep it under wraps. You'll know when to bring it to the public. The future for mankind to the stars is very exciting!
Nonsesnse. Alpha Tech click bait. Pie in the sky new engine tech, let's see the schematics. Wait on the Government and it will NEVER get done; the Europeans will regulate it to death or leak it to the RUS or CCP. Musk's Approach is better.
The word HOAKY should tell you everything!
All BS!!!
– This is nothing! – I have designed a spaceship that is 1000x better! In fact I've decided to honor that 1000x in the name: Investorvocker1000. This is where I should start writing in all capitals, but that would seem cringy and childish so I won't.
Anyway, my rocket uses a gaseous plutonium reactor – yes, pure plutonium so hot it's a gas, with fission reaction -, and aluminum as propellant. It will go to Mars in a week. 😑
This is ridiculous…….. they can't get this to work with endless amounts of land on the ground. Now you're trying to tell me it will work small enough to put in a rocket? 😂😂😂 I was born at night, not last night.
I think that the US military, NASA, and independent companies such as Space X are already working on Nuclear FISSION rocket systems with current rocket engines also incorporated to get the Ship out of Earth's gravity well, and then perhaps to help it land on a place like Mars.
At first I think that initial ships with Nuclear Fission capability might just stay in space, instead of attempting to land on Mars, until scientists like geologists, and zoologists determine if there are any lifeforms on Mars or not. Perhaps the Rocket Ship will have the Nuclear capable engine systems on side boosters, so that they can shed them off just before attempting a landing. The shed off Nuclear Booster engines might be able to be docked with an orbiting space station already built, that could use those engines for extra power on the station, or to just store them for reattachment to the previous space ship at a later date.
All speculation. He3 is NOT commonly available on Earth. We will need to mine it from the Moon – however we need current technology like SpaceX to get there.
I am sure the Elon already has plans for Nuclear Rockets – when the fuel becomes available.
A kilo of Unobtainioum wrapped in a room temperature Superconductor for your thoughts
Hope they can solve their braking power because once they start to roll at some point they will need to slow down or miss their mark.
This is really badly put together. You started talking about fusion, then jumped to fission without a pause, or any sign you where self aware the two are different technologies.
Will 'Someday' fusion or fission rockets play a role in deep space? I don't doubt it, but not like this.
The most likely role for at least the first several decades of any sort future fusion rockets, will for inter orbital maneuvering and station keeping. More on the way we currently use ion drives for long duration missions and satellite station keeping. It main advantages in that role, is it could work at more distant targets like Saturn or the ort belt where solar powered ion drives will be too inefficient.
As for Ground to Orbit rockets? Look at the protests and admirative blocks put into using simple RTG, Radiological Thermal Generators. Every time anyone tries to use one in a long duration mission (like the Voyager 1 and 2) the protests start, and RTG's are rock solid stupidly simple devices that would most likely survive without exposing anyone to radiation even if the rocket failed at the max Q point during take off.
Now put an active fission device as the main thrust engine in a rocket? The radiation risk would be Chernobyl level, if anything goes wrong. (Fusion rather than Fission would be safer, but you already played bait and switch with these terms in the video, so there's no ground to know which would be in use)
Many years after initial development (and that still many years in our future) and after hundreds or thousands of hours of live real world data, and 100% safety record, would anyone seriously consider such a technology for ground to orbit operations.
Thanks for an excellent presentation. You are also correct about the possibility of a nuclear fusion rocket as progress on fontroled fusion is finally moving forward very rapidly now. There are a number of companies now working on it and finally there is much faster progress being made than the huge reidculously expensive international project undeway in France and they are using 3 very different approaches which all offer real possibilities of success by the end of this decade. This rocket may very well become possible this decade as it is based on what is already known and is actually much easier than producing a fusion reactor for generating electricity on a continuos basis. Anyone involved in the study of nuclear fusion is well aware of these possibilities and as a result there are now billions of dollars in the private sector being invested in this because it is now finally becoming pracrical and possible. By the way you don't assert that it will be used for take of from the earth which is correct. Fusion prpelled vehicles will be used for interplanetary flight and not take offs from the surface.
New theoretical rocket. That is a must to add when detailing space travel since those engine are yet to exist.
Ah yes, our rocket goes really fast.. But how fast can it slow down when It's reached it's top speed. This is why New Horizons didn't stop at Pluto and have a good look around. All this looks so good on paper, but when reality sinks in, they are going to have the same problems as every other engine designer.
None of this works until you're already in orbit.
So no, this will not replace SpaceX.
