Joining the Thrillionaires 322
from Earth, will create a powerful incentive for developing
technology that will enable us to travel to other star sys-
tems,” Elon said. “With a nuclear thermal rocket you could
definitely reach a tenth of the speed of light. There are some
interesting things I’ve seen lately about warp drives. You
can’t exceed the speed of light but you can warp space and
effectively travel many times the speed of light. That’s kind
of exciting.”^314
