In Costa Rica takes place the development of a new technology that would allow us to colonize Mars for 2015. Many times we have seen on television programs and movies from the famed science fiction engine "PLASMA." This engine allows the fantastic characters who inhabit the space, go from one point to another at a speed far superior to anything known. Even some handle the possibility of a "hyperspace", which could jump from one point to another of the galaxy in a split second.
Perhaps coming a little closer to reality "hyperspace," it would not be very feasible even given that the technology is not for that, but what if this is a developing PLASMA engine, which boost to the spacecraft, "real "across distances very distant. The codename of this engine is: "VASIMR (rocket magnetoplasmático of variable specific impulse, acronym in English) ..
With the engine intends to use the qualities of the fourth state of matter-plasma- to drive, with less fuel, a spacecraft.
The plasma is obtained by subjecting a gas to radio waves. This makes separating particles of the element and is believed plasma. The plasma takes extreme temperatures (hundreds of thousands of degrees centigrade) and capacity conductive of electricity.
In this way the future is coming in leaps and bounds and is valid until ask where science fiction influences in these new technologies. In time it is doubtful that we engine WARP (travel to the stars) and many others.

The Costa Rican astronaut Franklin Chang started the construction of the Variable Specific Impulse Rocket Plasma Magnetic (VASIMR, for its acronym in English) in Costa Rica, the Costa Rican province of Guanacaste, 250 kilometers northwest of San Jose, where home construction the VASIMR, which could propel the first spacecraft to travel to Mars, according to Chang. And it is expected to begin bringing ships into space since 2010.
The idea of an astronaut is to build an engine based plasma, known as the fourth state of matter, which led to high temperatures "becomes a 'soup' of electrons flowing from the neutral atoms" to become cheap energy that propulse craft.
According to a report published Costa Rican Nation, Chang "has already generated plasma with antennas that heat argon gas, and driving through a magnetic field created by powerful electromagnets. Tremendous speeds This accelerates ions in the same direction, what will drive the rockets. "
The Costa Rican astronaut resigned last year from NASA to found his company and start your project.
