If you can't answer that question yourself, then you shouldn't be using it like that.
It's definitely wrong though. The thruster claims to produce 52mN of thrust using a watt. So even if you assume that this efficiency scales linearly to 1000W (which it certainly doesn't), that equates to 52N of force for a 100kg object, or an acceleration of 0.52m/s^2. Accelerating a 100kg object with an initial velocity of 8km/s at 0.52m/s^2 for two days give a total distance travelled of ~ 9.1 million km. The average distanfe between Earth and Mars is 225 million kilometers, or over 20 times that distance travelled.
But even more importantly, chatGPT failed to capture the complexity of otbital dynamics. You can't just fly straight to Mars, you have to complete complex orbital maneuvers that require precise timing sometimes on the order of days, weeks, or even months. See the Hoffman Transfer Orbit for example.
So please, be careful in the future. ChatGPT shouldn't replace critical thinking.

So how many days then?

Fuck should I know, ask an orbital physicist.
My whole point is that the answer to a question like that is too complicated to just ask chatGPT..

ChatGPT says 13 days.

Why people decide to be idiotic assholes on the internet I'll never know.
Enjoy your bad information my guy.

I mean, you cant answer the question, how can you say chatgpt is wrong for sure.

I clearly explained why ChatGPT was wrong the first time. Wtf are you talking about?
All I'm saying is that you can't take GPT answers at face value. Why are you guys being so fucking annoying?
