Hi team, and thanks for the AMA! For starters, from a complete layman, some basic questions:

*More specifically than harnessing solar energy, how do ion engines work?

*What are the biggest differences between ion and chemical drives, and the advantages and disadvantages of each?

*More generally, do ion drives allow for major differences in the scope of missions? Are ion drives what will take us to Mars in a week instead of six months?

*When can we expect to be flying one of these?
