It's DOCTOR Lubin. Please, do show a modicum of respect.
Yes, this is the way forward.

This is why we need to get space industry going, which should begin with near Earth object (NEO) mining. Such revenue would hopefully give NASA way better funding.

The problem is you need to slow down once you get there. So don't you need have to have a set of lasers at the destination as well?

se should fill mars with Robots and let them build base with 3d printers, then we may send humans

3 days on Earth or three days in the space craft? At 5%-25% of the speed of light, 3 days in the space craft could be a significantly longer time on Earth!

When ur creating a system to propel spaceships to 5% the speed of light, yet you can't afford a webcam greater than 144p.
