This paper discusses dark matter (DM) particle candidates from non‐supersymmetry (SUSY) processes and explores how a DM candidate particle in the 100–400 GeV range could be created. Thrust from DM particles is also proposed for Photon rocket and Axion rockets. It would use a magnetic field to convert DM particles to near photonlike particles in a chamber to create thrust from the discharge of the near‐photon‐like particles. The presence of DM particles would suggest that thrust from the emerging near‐photon‐like particle would be greater than with conventional photon rockets. This amplifies and improves on an “axion rocket ramjet” for interstellar travel. It is assumed that the same methodology used in an axion ramjet could be used with DM, with perhaps greater thrust/power conversion efficiencies.
