Positron Dynamics is out to make space travel to distant stars a reality using antimatter. Antimatter is the most energy-dense material known. Positrons are the …

So in other words you are saying "The Expanse" is going to be real in the near future? Remember the Cant.
Couldn't one position a number of such positron emitters on the way to Alpha Centauri, similarly like you have gas stations along highways, the positrons of which then would be trapped by a rocket, as fuel? May that enable you to reach Alpha Centauri even more quickly than in 40 years?
Million million light years away. Contemporary period of anthropocene is just 10000 years. The speaker is just ridiculous in suggesting human civilization will travel outside solar system. DNA damage from cosmic rays will make transporting life impossible.
We have and will travel faster than the speed of light , anything less and we will never leave and return within a lifetime .. even a lifetime to get anywhere is way too long .Antimatter is not the answer as a rear-end fuel. We cannot travel through the space matrix at speeds close to C, friction is the problem.We have to move space around the vehicle ! Rockets will not be feasible .. at 10% of C .. a dust spec will destroy the rocket
Why time of your camera to time of your eye to time of your to time of your father mother to my time to time of objectives to time of motto to time of mistake to time of destiny to no time to time to how many days how many nights to why
You could go to Mars within weeks with ion thrusters, too – or many related variants like e.g. VASIMIR, colloid ion propulsion, etc.. The technology is already out there. I wonder why he omitted that detail. Bad publicity strategy for his company?
Imagine travelling in a rocket using antimatter, the speed would be astronomical, and running into even small pieces of space debris from the tale of an asteroid or comet, would be like hitting a freight train head on, so I think I'll stick to my number 47 bus on what's left of this planet, once they have finished raising the CO2 levels from all those dam polluting spacecraft. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But on the plus side, the idea of sending all the world's wealthy, great and good, along with a smattering of celebrities on a one way trip to a distant solar system, does have it appeal.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Using an antimatter reaction to kickoff a “main” fusion reaction seems like it would be a better idea long term. Antimatter is very difficult to produce and has to be sequestered from regular matter, so only needing a small amount to use as a antimatter spark plug seems like a good idea. And only needing a small amount of antimatter would be safer than an entire rocket full of the stuff: antimatter spaceship loses power to containment of its fuel = big boom and everyone is dead / fusion rocket with antimatter spark plug loses containment = damaged spaceship and not everyone dies
Why do people always say "pure energy"? That means nothing, when annihilation occurs energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation, ie: photons are just quanta that carry some amount of energy. This doesn't make it any more "pure" than say kinetic energy
if there was no religion, war, politics and land devided by countries we would have been living on mars alredy, its like if roman and ancient indian/chinese empire still existed
We don't know about the intelligence of our human or animal or insects or plants or bacteria ancestors who lived 1.8 million years ago. It was at this point in time that a new type of stone tool hit the scene only by human and no other intelligence. How about those unknown intelligence living and not living on earth with full knowledge and control of things unknown, too, such as dark energy and anti matters etc.? Stone age is to human, only? Animals or insects or plants or bacteria who lived timeless in changing environments and ecosystems and till today and continuous as paradise (Human being expelled from paradise like "fairy tales" transformation). Time is countable and now after billions of years we, humans, as of today, In the stoned age of spacetravel (denying "fairy tales" of travel).
The star is 40 odd light years away. Your tech is 10% the speed of light… tell me again how we make it in 40 years? Your smudging of the math would scare the investors. Because it's not 40.. its 400 years not a lifetime currently.
I’m 19, I’m a student of engineering, I thought of this same fucking idea when I was like 12 😂I also did the calculations to the nearest star being like years

everyone is looking at fuel-based solutions.
Enough with the insanity! Your company will fail. No antimatter quackery. Period.
Idiot.
1:40 or unlucky, depends.
Antimatter is not just since the 1920's as asserted by the speaker. Antimatter has existed since the Big Bang.

Chinese invented rockets several hundred years ago. The speaker is incorrect.
All the people should apologize to bob lazar

2:15 whoops. Lol
TITR antimatter created on-board, electrons/position achieve antimatter Thomas institute for technology research.
Is this Topher Grace in 30years?

YOU ARE SEAKING TO PPL THAT DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR EDUCATION ASS HOLE!!
proton and anti-proton particle for antimatter propulsion, illogical… positron bankrupt.
2:16 "That's the fastest humanma – ma… or manmade object." *epic cringe* And who "makes" men again?
what a lame speech.

That is still too slow

stop smoking yourself, ryan!

Why do we explore. To get away from bad government and bad neighbors. Lol
Off topic but that's the best last name ever
4.4ly NS NOT 44LY
I smoke weed. I dream weed. I am Weed.
if there was no religion, war, politics and land devided by countries we would have been living on mars alredy, its like if roman and ancient indian/chinese empire still existed
Update?
Bob lazar : I told you so !
14:44 “why do we explore?”
Me: Bc y’all Are greedy asf and wanna use other planets like they used earth
It is a dying planet.Transfer me first.Pullution everywhere.
why we humans do these things, why not just live on earth in peace
Promixa Centauri, 4 light years away. If it were to be destroyed or altered, Earthlings would have to wait 4 years to observe any changes.
Give him a 100 billion dollars and see what happens…

we live in the stoned age with Ryan weed

damn. Okey I'm going to freeze myself in cryosleep and wait until this tech will be developed. I really want to see alien planets.
