So, if it could reach Mars in 40 days, shouldn't it be able to reach the Moon in a couple of hours? This could get interesting...


No, because this rocket has continuous, but very weak acceleration, so it would still take days at best. The interesting part is that it would use much less fuel.

I love the idea of this.

That's a pretty phenomenal speed. If it goes so fast it can over shoot it's target, how does it avoid everything? And what happens if it doesn't avoid?

Really sweet idea. Just upgrade the brakes and steering.
