What Is This Book About?
This Book Will Talk About Space Technology Of The Future.
24th August 2016. Scientists Found A Planet Circling The Red Dwarf, Proxima Centuri. They Found That The Planet Can Support LIFE. But, There Is Only One Problem: The Planet Is 4.2 LIGHT YEARS Away From The Earth - The Planet Is 7 TRILLION Miles Away From Our Reach.
So Buckle Up! Cause We're Taking A Trip To The Most Advanced Spaceships You Willl Ever See!!
How Fast Have We Gone? (2019)
Before The Future, We Must Look At The Present
NASA's Parker Solar Probe flew at the speed of 692,000 kmh, The World's Fastest Spacecraft, yet.
Atomic Fission
Atomic Fission Is The Splitting of Atoms. It Is How Atomic Bombs Work. All Ideas Are Theoretical
If We Can Launch Series of guided explosions, using atomic fission, we can propel a spaceship to up to 12% The Speed Of Light!
But This Can Be Unsafe for a lot of reasons, mainly because it can harm the spaceship very badly!
Atomic Fusion
Atomic Fusion is when atoms combine together to form something new. Like when hydrogen combines with hydrogen, it forms helium. This is the process stars use to keep burning.
This Process creates immense energy too. I mean, stars use it, so what did you think?
We Can Use Atomic Fusion to propel a spacecraft forward, only this time, the spaceship can go up to 16% The Speed Of Light. But This Can Also Cause Problems.
Solar Lasers
Solar Lasers are basically solar power focused into lasers. What Did You Think? Remember, Still A Theory!
Sorry To Disappoint any Star Wars Lovers, but no, we are not using laser blasters. We are trying to focus the energy of the sun into thousands of small lasers. These lasers focus on a spaceship, a very small one, like the size of a satellite. The lasers can push the spaceship forward to upto 20% The speed of light!!!
The force given by 1 laser is small, but even in space, teamwork can get you to one-fifth the speed of light! YAYYYYY!!!
