TerraDyne limits tech to TL8 or so. There are four types of space flight
available. Chemical (LO+LH usually), RamJets, ION (slow acceleration
[like .0005g] electrical engines) and Solar Sails. All of these are
within the reality of Shadowrun, so it has the benefit of not pushing
the tech at all, just broadening it.
