[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] Well, there are some problems with using AM. First, with our current level of technology, we can't even generate a gram of that stuff if we just left the particle accelerators on 24/7, much less enough of it for space travel at a economical price. Second, how would we go about using AM? We could use the steam turbine technique which we currently employ with nuclear reactor for power generation, which seems a waste. We could throw bits of AM behind a spaceship like with an Orion engine for propulsion, but I don't think that'd be very safe or cost effective. [/QB][/QUOTE]
