i was reading an article in a Scientific American from a few months back about the vasimr propulsion system. it can get up to 300km per second and seems to be very fuel efficient.
check out SciAm's comparisons.
If you have read the book Cryptonomicon one of the characters is named Enoch Root. He is part of the Societas Eruditorum. You may or may not know this already.
