[QUOTE="Yttrium, post: 74057387, member: 419693"] So you want a gravity lens that will focus the gravity on a spaceship to propel it? Hmm. If you find a way to do it, you'll need to be careful. You don't really want to accelerate faster than one g, although you could keep the acceleration going up to the halfway point then decelerate at the same rate. Too much g-force, and you could squoosh your space travelers into thin past. Have you heard of light sails? We could sail the starlight. It takes a real long time to accelerate and decelerate, so it would be a very long trip, but you wouldn't have to carry much fuel on board. [/QUOTE]
