Photo: Forces are the power behind our world. Thump an object with a big enough force and it will accelerate to a very high speed. This prototype railgun uses giant electromagnets to accelerate missiles to speeds of around 2500 meters per second (~9100 km/h or 5640 mph). Photo courtesy of US Navy .

The spacecraft was a fusion powered rocket designed to transport miners to the asteroid belt. 1,250 miners per trip . And a cargo of 150 metric tons .
