[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] Wouldn't a hybird ion/rocket engine have the advantage of both worlds? A booster stage, with a rocket firing and getting you up to a certain, fast speed, then the IPS taking over and giving you a constant rate of acceleration from that. You'd probably need rocket stage at the end to stop unless you flip before the half way point... Oh wait, I didn't mention I'm thinking about the 9.81m/s/s acceleration gravity ship... oh well.
