Bold enterprise: “An antimatter-aided space drive might bring deep-space missions within our grasp. Engineers at NASA and

Pennsylvania State University say that by the end of the century, spacecraft could reach the edges of the Solar

System and beyond.

They believe an antimatter drive could lead to a one-year round trip to Jupiter, a five-year trek to the

heliopause–the boundary separating the Solar System from interstellar space–and, in a 50-year trip, the Oort Cloud,

source of the comets.” New Scientist
