StartramSpace travel is a costly and inefficient process. Not only does it take a large amount of fuel to send the lightest payload into orbit(the Space Shuttle used over one million pounds of solid propellant to power its rocket boosters), but it is expensive and damaging to the environment (the last 28 years of shuttle service have seen over 42,000 tons of pollutants released into the atmosphere). However, two researchers believe that have found an alternative - maglev technology....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/the-startram-maglev-train-could-make-space-travel-cheaper-more-efficient/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
