Interstellar travel using a giant electrostatic scoop to funnel H2 into an iron drive. Nuclear powered, we only need mass to induce thrust. What if we seed the path with atomized mercury or lead. Fire trailblazer rockets out to deposit scoopable mass.

Skittish fairies darted in and out amongst the branches. As they flew each snatched cherry petals from the glowing blossoms. As one, they rose into the sky, a twisting vortex, one hundred fae-folk reaching high where they cast pink petals to drift and settle upon the grave of the broken child.
