I wondered why part of England is called the Isle of Thanet when it's self-evidently a peninsula. Through the magic of the Internet I discovered that the Wantsum Channel used to cut the island off from the mainland, and that Canterbury used to be at the head of an estuary.  

Plasma beam space travel. Travel from planet to planet and leave your fuel behind.

"We're trying to get to Mars and back in 90 days," Winglee said. "Our philosophy is that, if it's going to take two-and-a-half years, the chances of a successful mission are pretty low."

... Under the mag-beam concept, a space-based station would generate a stream of magnetized ions that would interact with a magnetic sail on a spacecraft and propel it through the solar system at high speeds that increase with the size of the plasma beam. Winglee estimates that a control nozzle 32 meters wide would generate a plasma beam capable of propelling a spacecraft at 11.7 kilometers per second. That translates to more than 26,000 miles an hour or more than 625,000 miles a day.
