Nyoom!
A team of scientists is furiously working away at a spacecraft thruster that they say could reach Saturns moon Titan in less than half the time it took the satellite Cassini.
Theres just one catch: Theyre talking about a fusion drive,Universe Today reports and thus far scientists are totally unable to harness the power of nuclear fusion in any sort of practical way. But if it somehow comes to fruition, the fusion drive could radically enhance the way we explore the cosmos.
