The thing i take from this is that there is a tonne of possibilities for space travel. The fact we have thought of concepts like this is remarkable.

I hope in my lifetime we can see a mission start to another solar system.

In reality, we probably need to figure out Fusion to get the cost to produce the technologies down a reasonable level.
