Is antimatter a new fuel source?

Is antimatter a new fuel source?

Summary- Antimatter is made when you get hydrogen atoms and you destroy them threw intense speeds which then creates antimatter and to hold or harness antimatter is simple. But the only use for antimatter is if we could put it in spaceships for an alternative fuel source. If scientists can harness this power it will cost allot of money. It will be Approximately 1 trillion dollars. And we could also use it for mining planets materials such as mars since antimatter hits matter and causes a explosion equivalent to 1 Hiroshima bomb. We can find more materials from different planets.


Critique- I think if we can get to this point we could make great discoveries since we have a very limited source right now. In the next 50 to 100 years we should be able to harness this power and use it to our advantage.



Impact- This technique is a good one but it can also backfire and people would use it as a warfare use.
