@[email protected] yeah!
Or there's that possibility that Europa has more ocean water than earth, why not drain that? You can get there pretty easy with a torch ship...
Or hell, with free thrust let's just deorbit all the comets in the oort cloud into Mars and use the new Barsoom Ocean as our remass.
@[email protected] (I did think about jupiter more seriously but the problem is that you'd have to build a structure that could withstand the pressures of Jupiter's atmosphere as it falls into the planet. That's way harder than something that can survive the earth's oceans, even if you would get more thrust out of it)
@[email protected] @[email protected] Why not just open a portal into the Sun?
@[email protected] @[email protected] Don’t drain Europa! It will anger the hyperintelligent squid there!

that just provides an episode for our Torchship Explorers show. Captain Laser has to go help some ice miners working to set up a portal farm on the bottom of the European ocean, when their drills keep getting attacked, and the crew has to learn to communicate with the squids and figure out how to stop the miners from just going "fuck it" and poisoning the whole ocean.
