Sunbird rocket may reach Mars in 6 months, Pluto in 4 yrs: Report
Pulsar Fusion, a UK-based startup, is building Sunbird, which is a nuclear fusion rocket designed to drastically cut space travel time. Capable of reaching 8,05,000 km/h, it could cut Mars' travel time to six months and Pluto's to four years, reports claimed. Set for 2027 demo, Sunbird will support larger spacecraft, though challenges like size and fusion control remain unresolved.
