You can use a time machine as a very good space drive.

"All" you do is jump back / forwards in time repeatedly so that gravity pulls you in the direction you want to go. (In actuality: good luck plotting a flight path)

Want to get to 20% of the speed of light? Sit in freefall near Jupiter for 5 weeks (assuming 20m/s/s acceleration), jumping forward / backward in time as appropriate to stay in roughly the same spot relative to Jupiter.
