>>5819061The Othrigen Arcturus Research Institute bravely perseveres against the relentless physics of the Tsiolkovsky equation, experimenting with all manner of advanced magnetohydrodynamic drives and innovative plasma impulse engines.
This is actually quite difficult, because being trained as xenoarchaeologists they are really more familiar with digging and using spades. Fortunately, because this is the future, hypercomputers can effectively run all these simulations, you just ask them, they do everything.
Your researchers quickly see the difficulty inherent in space travel - with the benefit of advanced future engineering, it is actually not too difficult to make an engine that will accelerate to inconceivable velocity. The main issue is that this will kill all the passengers. You feel that your space program needs more adjacent technologies...
