Best Answer

I am providing the following link in order to help answer this question. It is a link to the website of an agency called Qinetiq, who is one half of what used to be D.E.R.A (Defence Evaluation and Research Agency) They build Ion thrusters among other things. This particular thruster (the T5) may or may not be the most efficient available, I leave it to you to decide. www.qinetiq.com/home/defence/defence_solutions/space/ep/t5_ion_thruster.html

What is the maximum thrust of an ion thruster?

First of all, the speed of light needs 10googleplexso the speed of an ion thruster might be at least 1 out of 1000000000000000000000 of that speed so if you take that into mind you get at least 400010 pounds of thrust. But can somebody add to this, i dont now if that is right or not.

How long would it take the Saturn V rocket to reach Betelgeuse?

100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 million yearsThe truth:It is unlikely that a Saturn five could create enough velocity to get out of the solar system. If the payload had a Ion thruster in it and allowing that thruster could archive 1/4 light speed and the payload didn't have to stop when it got there:more than 2572 years.
