Mission to Mars...

Hi All

A pretty silly movie in patches, but the end sequence has Gary Sinise being immersed in clear breathable liquid for an ultra-high acceleration boost to interstellar speed. Dana Andrews has suggested using it on crews of starships propelled by particle beams - because of limited range of the PB projectors about 200 gee is needed for a boost to 0.3 c.
