Would Elon Musk use this rocket concept?

Comment:

There are some interesting concepts for rocket engines out there. There's one for a pulse detonation type, and then there was this one linked above. ( embed code below)

It looks as if it would use a nuclear fusion type process to create the plasma, which is then expelled at great velocity out of a nozzle. The idea could possibly be used to reduce the transit time to Mars by months.

It looks like the barriers to colonizing the Red Planet are slowly being overcome. The remaining hurdle does appear to be the inefficiency of chemical rockets. That allows me to segue into another concept that Musk wants to develop ( note: the nuclear one was not his). Musk wants to scale up his Starship to an gargantuan 60 feet in diameter rocket. It would gain in efficiency by sheer massive size. That would be Musk's way of doing things. The nuclear thing, maybe not.

The amount that could be lifted to orbit in this gargantuan machine could be 8 times as much. This could be a massive 800 tons to orbit. ( That is based upon memory, so it could be off a bit.) The Sea Dragon rocket concept was somewhat smaller. The Sea Dragon would have launched from the ocean, if you can imagine that. It would have lifted maybe 500 tons to orbit. Such sizes confers benefits in cost per pound into orbit, thus the attraction.
