Tsk, just like a woman.

Other-planetary travel not a "pipe dream", which means something
impossible to acheive.  Because we don't have a vehicle capable of it
*right now* doesn't mean that it's impossible.

There are dozens of legitimate and plausible propulsion methods that are
well within our technological grasp.

But - if there weren't, making one up that depended on heretofore
undiscovered materials or technologies could still be science fiction.
