Crazyed, it all depends on the actual flying mass of the engine, and also on its thrust, which no-one really knows at this date. I was also looking hard for data on VASIMR to try and extrapolate some performance figures, but nothing exists yet.<br /><br />As a rule, even if the engine is massive, having a high ISP can ensure a high final velocity. But if the thrust is low then it will be a long long journey... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>“An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” John F.
