Note that (to a rough approximation) to get a gamma of a hundred million
to one, you'll need to do total conversion of a hundred million times
the mass of your payload to energy. And of course, when you get there,
you'll need to dissipate that much energy somewhere. And that's without
dealing with the necessary reaction mass.
Conversion to luxon(s) seems a much easier issue,
energy-wise and momentum-wise.
What do you mean much easier?! Do you even know what Coulomb's law is?
