I wouldn't bother posting this except the guy behind it was the man who worked out the gravity assist flight profiles for Voyager. The video is long on math and design concept and features a Concorde like design at the very end. He assumes a constant 1 G flight to anywhere and winds up with just a few days to reach Jupiter. The vehicle takes off from the ground and goes all the way single stage based on ludicrous levels of propellant efficiency obtained through the nuclear fusion process.
If Lockeed is still spending bucks on their fusion reactor, they may want to send a few bucks to this guy just to lab test his basic reactor concept.
