Now all we need is a motor that can power a spacecraft at 20% of the speed of light. Any good options?
You don't need motors in space, only to escape the Earth's gravity. Solar sails are the most likely candidate for devices that can speed up spacecraft that currently get their speed by slingshotting around planets etc.
