I have an idea. Supposedly the rocket equation implies that the more faster each particle you expel goes then the quicker you move.
So why do rockets just explode stuff and ride over it? seems extremely wasteful, youre bound to run out of mass which is your only constraint.

But on the other hand, there's no constraint on exit speed, just direct particles away from you as fastest as possible and then you have a perfect rocket. Seriously just like make a machine that shoots things at an incredibly ginormous speed but expel very little of it. There you dont run out of mass

I seriously doubt this can be that hard, at the very least their evin "lol explode stuff under uss and ride the explosion" seems so retarded than the only explanation i can think of for this being popular is the fact that americans invented rocketry and sometimes "tradition" plays a bigger role than real intelligence and intelect.

Another one by the same company, i think this capsule is more efficient, much less expensive, the down side is that theres still a chance to escape.

Did you know that this company also builds space vehicles?
