what would it take to build and accelerate an object to 295000 kms/s? Like seriously, would it take nuclear propulsion or is it antimatter engine or solar sail?

The speed of light is 299792.458km/s so according to a quick Google search it takes 4.28x10^17J to accelerate 1kg to 0.98c.

ok so obviously we cannot slingshot someone with that speed or even use chemical rockets to reach those levels. So are there newer propulsion systems being worked upon?
