One of the better reasons for religion is that comprehending the uncaring vastness of the universe risks breaking our minds

“Russia owes an answer to the United State that has worked very hard to come up with a mediation effort,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told reporters.
Hahaha, I couldn’t read this without the most patronising tone.
This worked, thank you.
Article only says doubly efficient, and H2 to He3 reaction.
To get to .9c we still need a couple million kg of fuel.
Even .1c needs about 40 000 kg of fuel, which is doable, but probably unfeasible.
Still blocked, but thank you
Article is capped at 18 views/day so can’t see numbers.
But theoretical cap of energy would be something like E_kin = (\gamma -1)mc². Without knowing anything about the mission or engine, a 50 kg probe at a velocity of .9 c means an energy requirement of about 1,0e19 J.
Fusion of H2 to H3 yields about 340e9 J/g meaning we need about 3 million kg of fuel at 100% conversion rate, or a third if we manage He3 reaction.
Realistically heating, engine efficiency, deceleration, vibrational damping and such would probably lower efficiency to at most 40% and we end up at 8 million kg of fuel to propel a 50 kg payload (not counting the fuel mass).
Seems unfeasible.

0,05c should be in kgs range, and is probably plenty (100 km/s).

Maybe go have a meet downtown all together and brainstorm some ideas? See where the mood takes you?

This seems a shallow take to me, couldn’t you just as well go:
In the US people adress eachother by (Mr/Mrs) family name, putting the family above individuality.
Which ofc is less prominent in the US than in more communal cultures like those in Japan or China.
