A famous pioneer aviator, the late Otto Lilienthal of pre-Wright brothers time, would often say, ‘To design a flying machine is nothing; to build it is something; to test it is everything’.

“Russian scientists say … “
To: bigbob
Actually this is not a ‘new’ idea. It just took time for somebody to build it in reality.............

Slowing down uses quite a bit of energy as well.

Russian stuff leaks all over the place

It may get there in 30 days but it is going fast at that point. It will have to be flipped around and “brake” for half the ride if they plan to stop off and visit. Otherwise wave as you go past. Would like to see the math on a visiting trip.

The 2025 version:
Have graphic artists make pictures of it and then order your population to believe it or declare them traitors and enemies of the state.”

Slowing down uses quite a bit of energy as well. Right. We could get there pretty fast if we didn't have to slow down to reach orbital speed.
I wonder if that's included in their 30 day trip.

“The engine’s 6 newtons of thrust may not sound like much, “
And it is not very much. 1.35 pound-force.
