NASA has created an engine that uses Positrons to power it and they're using it for the mission they are planning to Mars. This new mission to mars will involve taking people and this new engine and they are saying it will take only days to get to the planet.
NASA mentioned what would happen if the rocket would explode but it seems that they are dimming the issues. Even though there's a low possibility of the rocket engine exploding, the destruction would be catastrophic. Matter-antimatter explodes and causes a BIG boom (To put it unintellegently) and gamma rays are emitted. NASA is minimizing the damage that it could possibly cause.
I think they need to further their research and test their systems further in the time they have before the launch and they need to postpone their launch if needed.
