And AFAIK using ion-trusters for travel to Mars would require using a massive nuclear reactor, thus pretty unrealistic in the short run.
I think it just takes forever, nuclear isn’t required. Recently I looked up the “warp drive” because supposedly these UFO’s use warp drives (hence why they don’t liquefy when pulling 600g’s). Anyways that resulted in me coming across this really good video which happened to mention Ion drives. That should start at 25:53 which is the relevant section.
Many modern satellites use this already, the ISS is just an 1970ties technology era product soon at the end of it’s life-span.

But still, nice to see the Chinese innovate a bit in that space :)

Yeah it either takes forever (but is very efficient) or requires an massive amount of electricity, hence the nuclear reactor.
