Yes ... but not with chemical engines - we need ion rockets - or perhaps nuclear engines.
because it does
electronic rockets
In order to make a banana ripen and eventually rot faster, place it in an enclosed space such as a paper bag in warm space. If possible place it with other fruit that has already ripened. All of this will cause the enzymes that convert starches to sugars to work faster and cause the ripening to accelerate.
What makes you say there has been no new methods of space travel? NASA is sending robots to Mars that can survive the harsh cold weather during the winter. There is other space programs that are finding new things about space travel and how to go faster. Also, they are planning to make a base on the moon for science experiments and other stuff. Why would you say there has been no new or updated methods of space travel?
the vacuum of space
it makes it possible by nothing!
Sound waves need a medium (such as air, water, metal and other materials) to travel through. Sound waves travel by slightly displacing the atoms from their original position as it moves. With empty space (no atoms) the sound waves cannot travel at all. In general, sound travels slower in gasses, then faster in liquids, and even faster in solids. Each substance is different, though.
to make it dry fast
A possible outcome is an element of the outcome space. All possible outcomes make up the outcome space.
space is a vacuum, their is no air to slow things down so small forces which are applied over short periods of time can make an object go very fast. like the voyager which passed by planets had had got a boost from planet's gravitational forces. in fact it is said that they travel faster then bullets.
That seems unlikely. Any method used to travel faster than the speed of light would also make it possible to travel to the past; and as any science-fiction fan knows, that is quite problematic.
A railroad would make it possible to travel the distance to the Pacific much faster and much more easily.
