Brace yourselves: Researchers at University of Huntsville in Alabama say they are using "Dilithium Crystals" in a new fusion impulse engine that could cut the travel time to Mars down to as little as six weeks, not the six months it takes now.

Now we have to figure out how to slow it down....

Six weeks - still would need a lot of movies or ebooks.

Look for the Plains of Mars soon to be littered with catalogs from Pottery Barn and announcements of winnings from Publisher’s Clearing House, while your first class letter languishes somewhere outside Peoria.

Dilithium crystals have a history of being very short lived. You don’t want to be stuck out in space without extras. It’s not like there is a Harry Mudd on Uranus out there.

That’s quite a tecnological advance.

Now on to the next challenge:

How to slow down to a stop from 50,000 mph without turning the humans into grease spots on the bulkhead.

Isn’t that treaty that prevents us from putting nuclear powered thingies into space still around?
