New engine to go and return to Mars in just three months/Nuevo motor para ir y volver a Marte en solo tres meses

One of the milestones of the space race for the medium/long term is the colonization of Mars, but before thinking about how to make the planet more or less habitable, there is a very difficult challenge to overcome, a trip of three hundred million kilometers that, under the more favorable conditions it would last six months just the one way.

>Uno de los hitos de la carrera espacial para el medio/largo plazo es la colonización de Marte, pero antes de pensar como hacer mas o menos habitable el planeta existe un reto muy difícil de superar, un viaje de trescientos millones de kilómetros que con las condiciones más favorables tendría una duración de seis meses tan solo la ida.

If it were not already complex enough to keep the crew alive for six months on a ship, we would have to add the aggravating factor that the favorable conditions mentioned occur every twenty-six months, so the round trip would take more than two years and that is why Elon Musk always talks about a trip to stay.

>Si no fuese ya bastante complejo mantener a la tripulación con vida durante seis meses en una nave, habría que añadir el agravante de que las condiciones favorables mencionadas se producen cada veintiséis meses por lo que el viaje de ida y vuelta sería de más de dos años y es por ello que Elon Musk siempre habla de un viaje para quedarse.

But this may change since a group of Chinese scientists claim that they have already successfully tested their new engine, a prototype of a lithium-cooled nuclear reactor that increases its size colossally when in space and that, according to its creators, could make the round trip to Mars in just three months.

>Pero esto puede cambiar ya que un grupo de científicos chinos afirman que ya han probado con éxito su nuevo motor, un prototipo de reactor nuclear refrigerado por litio que aumenta su tamaño de forma colosal cuando está en el espacio y que, según sus creadores, podría hacer el viaje de ida y vuelta a Marte en tan solo tres meses.

While on the Earth's surface the engine remains compact, once it reaches space it begins to unfold until it acquires the shape and size of a twenty-story building, which can operate stably for long periods of time thanks to its a 1.5 megawatt fusion reactor.

>Mientras que en la superficie terrestre el motor se mantiene compacto, una vez que alcanza el espacio comienza a desplegarse hasta adquirir la forma y el tamaño de un edificio de veinte plantas, que puede funcionar de forma estable durante períodos de tiempo prolongados gracias a que tiene un reactor de fusión de 1,5 megavatios.

This design allows the reactor to be easier to load and launch with a rocket. The reactor will generate up to 1,276 degrees Celsius in its core through the fission of uranium fuel, this heat will expand the liquid forms of the inert elements helium and xenon until they become into gases, powering a generator that will supply efficient and continuous energy for at least ten years.

>Este diseño permite que el reactor sea mas fácil de cargar y lanzar con un cohete, el reactor generará hasta 1.276 grados centígrados en su núcleo mediante la fisión del combustible de uranio, este calor expandirá las formas líquidas de los elementos inertes helio y xenón hasta convertirlas en gases, impulsando un generador que suministrará energía eficiente y continua durante al menos diez años.

There is no doubt that if they are able to make this project work and reduce the travel time so dramatically, the cost and complications of the trip to Mars will also be reduced in the same way so it is possible that, In the medium term, we even have regular flights that facilitate the colonization of the red planet.

>No cabe duda de que si son capaces de conseguir que este proyecto funcione y reducen el tiempo de viaje de forma tan espectacular, el coste y las complicaciones que supone el viaje a Marte también se reducen de la misma forma por lo que es posible que, a medio plazo, incluso tengamos vuelos regulares que faciliten la colonización del planeta rojo.
