I'm quite excited about the different groups trying to reduce manufacturing costs of antimatter and use it for space propulsion.

Positron Dynamics is putting up a cube sat in the near future to demonstrate feasibility.

Generating antimatter is easier in space and using it instantly gets rid of storage hassles.

The amount needed for a trip to Mars would be around 10mg, the journey time would be measured in weeks.

Possibly the best hope there is for constant acceleration spacetravel.
