Rocketry N/G !

All OUR efforts so far use chemical rocketry to provide momentum. This
has many, many obvious disqualifying issues. Something else and much
better must be found if we are to ever really get "out there".
Rocketry should be abandomed and all efforts should be focused on
finding / developing alternatives. After all, no UFO has ever been
seen to use rockets. Good food for thought ...

Obvious question, how to get to those "alternatives" ?

Ironically, the answer can be had from rocketry ! Momentum is obtained
by shooting matter backwards, and the momentum gained is the matter
mass x shooting velocity. Regrettably, the velocity is so very, very
relatively low in this case. So, find something with mass to shoot
much faster, say some exotic particle (with mass) shot at something
much, much, much faster, perhaps in the ultimate, approaching or even
equal to light speed. All the momentum your heart desires !
