They're just about at the point of being able to truck it around. But that's a whole truck to move a few molecules, because it annihilates as soon as it touches any ordinary matter (which is kinda common on this planet).

Okay noe you have your fuel source. We still can't travel at the speed of light, nor can we travel faster than it because that would be time travel. So our next closest earthlike planet it what 4.3 lightyears away? So you're still looking at a ~9 year round trip to even get info back from this planet, and that is me being lenient and letting you essentially travel at c.

Oh, my fellow anons. You simply don't understand the hidden layers in the posts Elon makes.
Elon is not taking about expensive antimatter drives in that post - it is a critique of the fiat currency based economy and the inflation it causes, further it is a critique of the never ending stream of projects that lead nowhere that is given more and more tax dollars at the expense of the general population.

>>109100999

Right, but from the perspective of the ones doing the traveling you can arrive at any point in an arbitrary time given enough acceleration, I'd wager that would be close enough for many people.

>>
>>109103291
>>109099904
ok so exactly just how efficient is:
1) making and then using antimatter
2) storing antimatter
because it seems that cern allegedly can make maybe one or two atoms or whatever of it? which makes how much energy? a lot compared to the size but compared to a spaceship? oh, zero? probably. and then also how you turn that energy into movement you want a steam turbine on the spaceship too? build a big cooling tower for the steam process?

right ok so thats all done, we built that, when will it get to the nearest star? oh a billion years? oh ok.
money well spent.

We can already make and store antimatter particles. It just takes a long time to get them and we don't store a lot.
https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2010/11/17/antimatter-atoms/
This article describes the first storage in 2010.
https://home.cern/science/physics/antimatter/
The CERN page describes storage of antimatter.
>They can be stored for many hours, allowing physicists to perform precise studies of their properties. In principle up to 100 000 particles could be stored this way with the current technology.

The current issue with antimatter is the rate of generation. We can store it quite readily, but it takes a while to capture a particle, so efficiency is low.

So, this is the problem with "antimatter"...everyone thinks if CERN. Antiprotons are heavy and take shitloads of energy to make. Everyone forget about our friend the positron, and now much easier he is to create. You can even buddy him up with an electron to make a far more easily storable electrically neutral, bound state positronium. You can make a lot of fucking positrons with high-powered lasers. I think we are way further along with antimatter production than you might think.

It's pretty heavily implied that the DoD and DoE has been storing rather larger amounts of positrons/positronium since 2004, possibly a few years earlier than that even.
