How so?[/QUOTE]
You need to store it in a way that it'll not come into contact with matter. It takes intense energy to keep it away from matter for 1/6th of a second, and despite that being reduced as technology improves, it'll still be nearly impossible. You would need a massive magnetic field, and probably extremely low temperatures (~5K or lower) for it to be realistic to keep it longer - from what I think anyway.

Yep, because anti-Carbon is perfectly easy to contain.

It'd probably explode before it was even launched.

I understand the difficulties in storing antimatter, but your post seemed to imply that we will eventually find a better way of producing it (which is what I was interested in - sorry for not making that clear). Is this true or am I just seeing things?
Excellent, now we need to find Dilithium Crystals and a more efficient way of making/storing antimatter.

I'd assume we will manage to find a better way of producing it. I can't think of how, but progress is always being made. It'll never be too efficient to produce, but I guess it'll get close.
