...we can barely even break orbit of our planet with a projectile using thousands of pounds of chemical propellant.

As far as that goes, it appears to me that we're going about it the wrong way...

Just step back and look at it for a second. We're here, and we want to get up there. Doesn't mass packing fuel so we can physically force an object up and out of the atmosphere seem like the 'hard way'?

As an example, in the 1500s, man wanted to get across the Atlantic. What did we do? We built ships that physically pushed their way through the water and made it across the ocean in a few months time. What do we do (for the most part) now? Take a plane and just go over the ocean in a few hours or days time.

But hey, I'm not claiming to know a better way to travel in space, I'm just saying that if a few minds greater than mine sat down and thought about it for awhile, they would come up with something eventually. And I'm sure they will...eventually.

Now how did I know Taximes was going to answer this first. I said it was going to be Taximes or Infinit. Razz

Well, I'm glad to have the board stigmata of "loony nut who replies to all the weird space/time threads" Razz

Seriously, though, I do love trying to wrap my mind around things like this Cool
