Default Alternative to Rockets

Are there any way for rockets to fly in space , other then throwing mass
out in one direction and moving in other


No. All the laws of physics forbid a reactionless system, ie there is
*always* some reaction mass. But there are reaction based propulsion
that give the same kinda results. Solar sails are my choice and we
don't need nano anything to make useful spacecraft.
