"Somebody thinks they're going to beat us to Mars!"

I'm not jealous. I'll be happy to steal their technology if they can prove it.

This is reminiscent of my plans for developing a second generation space vehicle. We even have a storage bay devoted to building and experimenting with drive engines for it.

My thinking is to use the magnetic coils as part of the power plant, in the form of controlled fusion, as well as attempt to generate at the very least a reactionless drive.

If the intense magnetic fields can warp space, that will be useful. If not, they may still operate to provide thrust within planetary systems.
