Description
The Yacht of Solomon Epstein over the UN Mars Colony seconds before he started the engines, which he modified by himself.
The modification used much less fuel than the standard fusion drives and through this it opened up the outer planets for humanity.
He himself died trough the first use of this drive due to the high g-forces during acceleration
and the driveplume of his can still be seen 150 years later while his ship is still accelerating.
Luckily for humanity he had left the plans for the "Epstein-Drive" with his wife, so it wasn´t lost with him.
With the knowledge of this drive Mars buyed it´s independence from Earth and became the Martian Congressional Republic, one of the
Superpowers in the Solar System.
