In going to the moon, it takes us 3 days. At least it took Apollo 3 days. But most of the distance of that trip was spent without any main thruster power firing. What if we changed that. I mean how hard would it be and what could the benefits be if for that constant velocity time we accelerated (half the distance) and decelerated (half the distance) with ion drives?<br /><br />I know there are people out there that don't believe in these drives. But I figure its a newer propulsion system and it seems to work. So why not find new uses for it? And the trip to the moon seems like and obvious candidate. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#0000ff"><em>"SCE to AUX" - John Aaron, curiosity pays off</em></font></p> </div>
