Joining the ranks of notable space focused non-profit organizations, Tau Zero works to develop interstellar propulsion in our lifetimes.
Rocket propulsion expert Jeff Greason puts this into context, “Chemical rockets will not get us to the stars and current nuclear propulsion ideas could barely scratch it.” We are going to need entirely new tech and the effort and investment required to design and perfect it will deliver multi-fold returns to those of us who will never leave the Earth.
“There’s no question that beams of one kind or another are an important tool in the toolbox for highspeed flight,” explains Greason. Generating energy on the Earth, moon or space platform and applying it to a craft not burdened with the weight of the generators is an excellent way to achieve really good acceleration. Alternately, pellets of fusion fuel might be sent with a much smaller beam, because the fusion reaction would deliver more total energy than the beam itself.
