Go back to the library and read the 'The Tortoise and the Hare' - that will help.
FWIW, I agree with you, and that's why I like VASIMR better, since your speed is really only limited by your available electrical power. Get fusion power on-track, hook it up to a VASIMR drive, then I think you'll be happy.

Get fusion power on-track, Don't bother waiting for fusion. Use americium-242m which is 100 times as powerful as plutonium. Look it up sometime on google. Search for "Two weeks to Mars".

And in space, there are no liberals to get in the way.
