    The Epstein Drive, from a fictional book series, The Expanse, but decently grounded in science. It resolves an important shortcoming in current propulsion, which is how to sustain acceleration for an entire voyage. With sustained acceleration, you can both make trips great distances in reasonable time and do so while maintaining normal earth gravity or slightly more to some withstandable extent.
