Scientists believe that using current technology, a trip from Earth to Mars would take six to nine months. However, a team of researchers from McGill University, Canada, has now suggested a propulsion mechanism that might reduce travel time drastically. As per their study, a spacecraft in which lasers will be used to heat the hydrogen fuel will bring down transit times to 45 days.
