Purdue, NASA, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and Pennsylvania State University are all working together on a new rocket propellant called ALICE. Not named for anyone's girlfriend or mother, the name ALICE comes from what the propellant is made out of: frozen mixture of water and "nanoscale aluminum" powder.

we won't be able to make anti-matter rockets until long long after we've managed to make fusion powered rockets/spaceships.. and it will at best shave a few years of a potential trip "to-the-nearest-star" which will still take something of the order of 100 years...
