Wanted to see how realistic the numbers would be on the fusion power plant. That itself is plausable, if massive, but the engines quickly get a little crazy.

Martian is one of the VERY few that managed to be hard sci-fi, because it did so well to follow the book's plot.Arclite wrote:They should have hired you as a technical consultant!
