New technology

I appreciate your input that is a serious problem what if we reversed the process and applied more power to the rear end effectively pushing space away from the ship? It might not be as fast as trade lanes but it would certainly be faster than cruise. I also am interested in the weapon you were talking about a small amount of deuterium traveling at roughly 2000 m/s would make quite the impact. If you would be interested in pursuing that line of research I would like to join you.

The research in question has already been done, Rail Gun's are a reality, there is plenty of information on the 'Net about them.

Have a look HERE for much more information on them.

Yes, I know it's Wikipedia, but it's pretty much correct from what I have seen in the past.
