NASA's EM Drive
Well, it turns out this crazy EM drive...which we still have no idea how it works...also works in a vacuum, meaning it will work in space. It's like a real-life Impulse engine from Star Trek! They're even saying it could potentially propel spacecraft at near relativistic speeds. Cool

If they can figure this out perfectly and make it the primary source for travel, then all they need to figure out is artificial gravity and a way to sustain ongoing oxygen and food. Then people could travel almost anywhere.

Moving out from LEO, Mr. March, from NASA EagleWorks, noted that a spacecraft equipped with EM drive technology could surpass the performance expectations of the WarpStar-I concept vehicle.
If such a similar vehicle were equipped with an EM Drive, it could enable travel from the surface of Earth to the surface of the moon within four hours.
