We've built our space exploration vehicles around the clever use of it.
Yes, but imagine if we could, even if only partially. A small push would send a spacecraft careening close to the speed of light. Even a less extreme negation would go beyond merely revolutionizing space access. I am not saying it is possible, but if it was, it would be an astronautical engineers *ahem* nocturnal emission.
