But Alex how would you power that big Arc type ship? In the program early this week on Gravity Propulsion, the NASA project director gave an example of just how much fuel traditional, present day rocket systems would need to propel a deep space ship to even one tenth light speed, he said you would need the equivalent weight of our Sun in fuel to do that, and of course the ship has to carry it. So using present technology it is not achievable. However, thinking outside the box is discouraged.
