Nuclear fusion rockets developed by a company could enable mankind to leave the Solar System in the near future.   Rockets propelled by nuclear fusion could be closer than you think. According to a press release, UK rocket manufacturer Pulsar Fusion has received money from the UK Space Agency to aid in the development of “integrated nuclear fission-based power systems for electric propulsion.” To make their concept of green rocket technology, in the form of fusion propulsion, a reality, they will work with the Universities of Cambridge and Southampton as well as the Nuclear AMRC. The goal of Pulsar Fusion is to one day use nuclear fusion to create hypersonic rocket technology. The Sun and the stars have been generating enormous quantities of energy for eons via nuclear fusion.   According to Pulsar Fusion’s news release, “although nuclear fusion may be the solution to the energy dilemma, it is also the solution to in-orbit satellite mana...
