Inspired By Star Trek: Fusion Impulse Engine In The Works

Star Trek was indisputably ahead of its time. Not more than a week goes by where we’re not talking about some other push in research destined to bring us new technology on par with the popular science-fiction show. We’ve already seen the X Prize Foundation offer up a $10 million reward to the inventor of a medical ‘tricorder’, marvelled at the feasibility of ‘warp drive’, and revelled in the hope the USS Enterprise may one day be reproduced. Now, aerospace engineers are busy at work in making fusion impulse rocket engines a reality.
