   Interstellar seed ship propulsion system

   Hello, rec.arts.sf.science.   
      
   I was thinking of the best ways to send people to other star systems, and I   
   came to the conclusion that it would take too long of a time for actual,   
   single person to get to another star system without antimatter or absurd mass   
   ratios. So I decided to use    
   a seed ship-style starship as the ship needed.   
      
   But then I run right into the propulsion system again. Would an interstellar   
   seed ship use a Firefly-type fusion drive or a gigantic laser sail? How much   
   mass would the payload itself be, anyway?
