To the moon in under 3 hours and to Mars in 5 days?

It's possible with new propellant less drive technology.

Reminds me of the movie Star Trek: First Contact.

NASA expert's propellantless propulsion drive defies Physics

NASA expert Dr. Charles Buhler believes his company has discovered a never-before-seen force. It can revolutionize space travel.

Very interesting. Thanks for the link.

I just wanna know, will it fit in a B-body engine bay?

7 days to the sun but you have to go at night...

Wouldn't that require pulling some serious g-force for extended period of time? And remember, half the time would be braking.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to be on that vehicle.

Do G-Forces carry over to the zero gravity of space?

I have never seen the crew of the Enterprise get flung backwards when Mr Zulu engages the Warp drive.

Nor have I seen that when the Millennium Falcon hits hyperdrive in Star Wars?

Chewie didn't even get a hair out of place.

I'm sure that Starbuck didn't have any issues either - his hair was always immaculate.

I've always said that Max has factory installed Warp Drive!

Not really, 1G of constant acceleration would get you half way to the moon in under two hours. Three days would be half way to Jupiter.

Remember, the actual moon shots of the 1960s and '70's had only a few minutes of hard acceleration and a lot of zero G coasting time.
