I'm fairly certain that's Ion drive. I think there's a few of those already floating around in space.

Yeah, it did look entirely too powerful for Ion drive

Read the thing about the "mach disks" , that impressed me the most.

Ion drives are used primarily in space for long slow acceleration, they don't have the Specific Impulse (Is) to get a shuttle off the ground.

Anymore, when I read the word "Rocket" I think of the Rocket Bra from "Tank Girl". Much more impressive...
