I'm going to put money on the future and ion propulsion. But then again, I thought that by the year 2,000, technology would give man the ability to corner God, and take a photo of him in technicolor. Was I way off on that idea.

Well... the WMAP satelite has taken pretty detailed pictures of the cosmic background radiation all around us in the universe which is actually light from The Big Bang (Specifically it's a picture of the universe when it was only 300000 years old when it was just barely starting to cool off enough for single particles to form).
That's pretty damn close to a picture of GOD right there.
Also there's going to be three space probes that are going to be launched in another few years that will use lasers aimed at each other over millions of miles to detect gravity waves that are basically the vibrations from the big bang (Yes.. the big bang was so powerful that the universe is still vibrating from it)
We're getting pretty damn close to that picture.
I will now stop hijacking the thread and return you to your regularly scheduled argument about alternative fuels.
