Definitely needs a lot of theoretical physics that we haven't discovered yet. Don't know what the answer is except to maybe put money into that instead of (insert your favorite govt waste project here).Cad I think energy is the next hurdle, I completely agree with your desire for better propulsion but it seems without overcoming power generation and storage the best engines won't fix what you want out of them.
