I have a question /sci/

Imagine that elon musk puts ion engines in starship.
Would it be possible to power it by humans pedaling dynamos?

literally transferring human energy into thrust , by generating electricity for that ion engine(so it wouldn't be needed to get a nuclear reactor weigth since humans themselves would create the electricity(and they would need to do exercise anyway)

So it's possible or a retarded idea?
