Faster Than BulletsThe EM drive spacecraft is a special kind of space vehicle capable of high power electromagnetic particle radiative travel at speeds faster than a bullet. Exactly how much faster?
At top speed, the EM spacecraft is 232,500 times faster than a speeding bullet. While the new EM spacecraft is ultimately fast, no trips to moons or planets are completed at this time to verify the speed. If they were, here are some rough calculated flight times to get to planets in the Solar System. Planets vary in Earth Sun distance, hence the min and max calculated values.
