Antimatter Applications

If scientists became better at controlling antimatter, they may be able to apply it to space propulsion systems. There are several designs showing how an antimatter rocket could potentially work.	. Source: http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/enginelist.php
Due to the amount of energy released when a particle and antiparticle meet, there have also been proposals to weaponize antimatter. antimatter bombs would have the potential to release an immense amount of energy over a very short span of time.	Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSSKU5mWjgU
Unfortunately, one of the major issues with these applications is the cost. Antimatter is the most expensive substance on the planet. Currently, it costs $62.5 trillion per gram. For us to be able to use it for the above applications, we would need to find a much more efficient and cheap method of producing it.	.
