The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

What kind of propulsion could help future space missions?

I mean, everybody except NASA sees that you just don’t get good space mileage on rocket fuel. Space is just too big, and gas tanks won’t get us out of our own backyard. There is Ion Propulsion. That has been proven to work in the probes the launched with it. That could potentially take you near light speed. Wonder why they aren’t trying to upgrade? And yes, I’m aware that we would all be stains on the wall if we could go that fast, but I’m hoping they develop a way around that too, so no need to mention the G force thing in your answers. I’m just curious about propulsion options since obviously liquid fuel doesn’t work.
