EMDrive finally put to rest

Made a mistake! Mea Culpa!!!
Forgot to divide the distance to Mars by 2. That's the distance to turn-over.
Re-working the problem with more care, transit time at 0.3 gees varies from 4 days 11 minutes to 10 days 11 hours (plus a hair to avoid going too close to the Sun), depending on planetary positions.

>Earth to Mars in less than 2 weeks

God I fucking wish, anything that helps to shorten the distance between these distant worlds would help usher in a new unstoppable push for space travel, exploration and settlement, not to mention at speeds that quick, the moon is a 1 day trip away, the amount of humans living in space would skyrocket, we would have solid footing in interplanetary space... like going from sail to steam engines to cross the oceans, we would be able to cross the ocean of space in unimaginably short times.

Even if it takes several hundred years to leave our solar system, with technology that shortens space flight considerably we could open up the entire solar system to humanity, millions of people living in space, colonies, outposts and stations around every world, every moon, we just need that breakthrough.

Ya'll just ignorant

Okay, EM drive max speds are quite low. If the data Im working off when last I looked into this is still correct controlled nuclear explosions are the only feasible way to reach another solar system.

You would want something very large, a complete civilisation in a cigar but it could take as little as 50yrs to reach our nearest neighbour star system. If we develop existing tech. Who knows what we could learn in close proximity to a binary star system and a red dwarf...

Something like that would want to be launched from near the heliopause though... This is hugely offtopic though and I dont want to derail here.

I just dont know much about the topic here except that it was proposed around a decade or two ago, the guy said he was shut down by the government but the device was low thrust and only for maneuvering satellites...

Err ion not EM muhbad but em is also low thrust.
