antimatter propulsion, beamed-power propulsion, microwave-pushed
starwisp, laser-pushed lightsails..... I'm flexible on what types you
choose. Are you interested?

Hi again
Yes I would be interested in doing that also (although it may take a
little longer to research if they are not established technologies).
Thanks for the 5-star ratings and for thinking of me again.
