Will future space ships use anti matter technology?

[Goingplaces]

I know its dangerouse for earth, however what if the space ship/ Rocket uses anti matter while they are in space and thousand of miles away from earth?

I know that I have read that all of the antimatter ever generated in all of the labs on the Earth does not fill up a thimble.

Generating even that much uses tons of power and costs zillions of dollars.

I seriously doubt that antimatter will ever be used as a starship fuel.

Here is a quote from Wikipedia about the (anti) matter:

On April 26, 2011, CERN announced that researchers had trapped an antihydrogen cloud for 1,000 seconds (about 17 minutes), the longest recorded time antimatter has ever been trapped.[28]
The biggest limiting factor in the large scale production of antimatter is the availability of antiprotons. Recent data released by CERN states that, when fully operational, their facilities are capable of producing 107
antiprotons per minute.[29] Assuming an 100% conversion of antiprotons to antihydrogen, it would take 100 billion years to produce 1 gram or 1 mole of antihydrogen (approximately 6.02×1023
atoms of antihydrogen).

in the future, probably. as long as their's not a newer, more efficient, safer fuel that would surpass it. But currently, we do not have the technology to create much antimatter and store it all. If it comes into contact with any normal matter, POOF! That's why it's so hard to store and create.
