ok maybe wasn't mars... Jupiter? :)
If the engine is nuclear and burns some heavy gas fuel heating it to plasma
temperatures the mass required shouldn't be extreme at all... solar or
chemical don't even bother to do the math, but a nuclear plasma jet engine
should be able to deliver that sort of acceleration... thinking mostly out
of comparison with smaller systems, so maybe just talking straight out my
wrong end though...
