Photonic Propulsion Could Let Us Travel the Space? Spacecraft to Mars in Three Days!

Haven't most of us or should I say, everybody wondered at some point their lives to travel through the space? To whirl through the mass of air-less, dark yet attractive space has always fascinated our dreams. Being humans, curiosity is in our nature and so humans have always been eager to know more and more about space and to expand their radii of knowledge and power. Overall, it would be so lovely and no less than a dream come true when we would be able to see hovercrafts / spacecrafts push up into the Space, vanishing from our very eyes and spiking through the whole lifeless world to pay a visit to Other Planets. Maybe we could establish our little settlements there when resources here at Earth are getting depleted. Nonetheless, it is imminent to me at least. And my vision of this has became yet stronger because of the recent Photonic Propulsion.

Yes, Photonic Propulsion could let us travel to Mars in a spacecraft in just THREE DAYS. Just like travelling from one corner of the world to another in a Plane. So it has surely reduced the virtual distance between us and the Martians ((if any)). Now if we consider the old classical techniques to travel through the space, I would like to quote an instance. Right now, the Voyager I Spacecraft is swishing through the space at 35,000 Miles Per Hour? Fast? Pretty Damn Fast? Yes most of you would consider that a well maintained speed to have a look at every famous station in the space. But only until you consider that it recently left our Solar System, THIRTY SEVEN ((37)) years after its launch. Damn, that's too slow man. What the actual heck? Yes my boys, the Space is so enormous that even the apparently too-fast 35,000 MPH is just like an ant against a Giant. 



Professor Philip Lubin tried to explain this as:

While we dream of all human spaceflight to the stars in a way romanticized in books and movies, it is not within our power to do so.
So we are going to need much more greater speed and as of now, we just don't have that. Lubin is now leading a project named DEEP-IN that's studying the possibility of using lasers to propel spacecraft faster than ever before. According to estimates and researches, it has been calculated that it would take approximately THREE days to send a 100 KG body to the center of our space studies, Mars. Have you guys ever heard of Solar Sail? Photonic Propulsion is just as similar to that. So in both of these processes, the photons of light bounce off from the surface of a reflective material to transfer or transition the Kinetic Energy and as the space/vaccum is frictionless, it would help them accelerate to a considerable amount. 

Of course, this theory is just in its earlies and there is a lot to be done before you can plan on going to Mars or could just work out some honeymoon weeks there. A lot of things and preconditions are to be fulfilled and a lot of prerequisites are there. We are going to need a very powerful laser, a big enough sail and and brakes,- yes we are going to need to slow down once we reach Mars or do you plan on going on???
