Destination: Saturn (in two years)

Princeton Satellite Systems’ Direct Fusion Drive, fueled by  helium-3 and deuterium, could be on line by 2028, significantly reducing travel time to the outer solar system and beyond.  In addition to providing high specific impulse propulsion, the system could be used as a power source at the destination.
