Description
The USS Carl Anderson prepares to enter Mars Orbit on April 29, 2039 after a six week voyage from Earth.
The Carl Anderson is a prototype vehicle which uses the revolutionary new matter-antimatter engine. Equal measures of hydrogen and antihydrogen are mixed in the combustion chamber. The resulting annihilation of the atoms creates high speed sub atomic particles known as pions and muons. These particles are directed, via magnetic fields through the cooling radiators and out the exaust. This process allows the ship to attain .66 speed of light.
The ship is commanded by project manager Vice Admiral Vincent X. MacNammara and has a crew of 73 men and women.
All Bryce with planet color and bump map from Space-Graphics.com. The ship is based on a drawing of a matter-antimatter ship in the August 2003 issue of Discover magazine.
Thanks for stopping and taking a look :o)

Yeah... Bambam will be very angry. He still runs nuclear engines, doesn't he? :) Last time seen near Jupiter... i gues.. Be carefull.

From what I understand, you only need a few grams of anti-matter to reach Mars.
