perforated sails, microwave sails, quantum fluctuations, antimatter rockets
"It's a wide, if not deep, look at exotic energy sources which might be
useful for space propulsion. It also considers various kinds of laser
propulsion, metallic hydrogen, tethers, and unconventional nuclear
propulsion. The bibliographic information, pointing to the research on all
this stuff, belongs on every daydreamer's shelf."

[Quote: , goes into detail on beamed power systems including " 1) pellet,
microwave, and laser beamed power systems for intersteller transport; 2) a
design for a near-relativistic laser-pushed lightsail using near-term laser
technology; 3) a survey of laser thermal propulsion, tether transportation
systems, antiproton annihilation propulsion, exotic applications of solar
sails, and laser-pushed interstellar lightsails; 4) the status of antiproton
annihilation propulsion as of 1986; and 5) the prospects for obtaining
antimatter ions heavier than antiprotons." Again, there is an extensive
