Antimatter Space Drive

sckienle writes "Space.com has an article on using anti-matter for propulsion in space. It isn't true Star Trek warp stuff, in fact it is a variation on an fusion based pellet design I saw in the late 70's, but interesting concept. The concept is still somewhat of a dream, as stated in the article: 'The real hub is the storage [of antimatter]. There's a lot of technology between here and there.' Later on it also mentions that we can't produce a lot of antimatter efficiently yet. Still it might be worth the effort if the theoretical acceleration proves out." The BBC has a story about studying antimatter in a lab.

    Damn skippy. It's pretty bad too. Crazy in love, just boring sex life. I knew I had hit rock bottom when I found myself eyeballing that fat, skanky LUG girl that ever LUG has(and you know you do). She's down for everything, but it's mostly because of that 'beggars can't be choosers' rule.
