ok i can see the steam turbine powering onboard electrical but explain me how the fuck you’re doing space propulsion and/or warp travel with steam
unless you mean literally just blasting steam like a propellant, Wall-E With the Fire Extinguisher style. in which case you’re gonna run outta steam pretty fast
Ion thrusters are an example of electricity used for space propulsion.
In ion thrusters electricity is used to create a magnetic field that accelerate the propellant particles at very high speed. This way the propellant of used much more efficiently.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it’s not a concept, it’s actively used in a lot of satellites
At some point in the future, it will be trivial to fold spacetime and tunnel through, which needs electricity to charge capacitors and shit because the fuel is energy. You think space travel will be done with gasoline engines?

you use the steam to turn a spacetime-fabric-propeller which can gain traction on vacuum itself and propel the ship. simple stuff.

ooooooh
well that’s pretty neat.

I sure hope not, the USA has already done enough damage for terrestrial use gasoline 💀
even submarines are runing nuclear reactors
