ITha would be VERY cool.

I’ve always said that fast and efficient propulsion is the key to space travel.

I have my doubts about warp drive within the next century but I wish them well. Leaps do happen.

This reads like a hoax-article. I’ll wait for the story to reach some paper like the Washington Times or the New York Times or some other general newspaper like the Tulsa World.

Even the title-line reads like a hoax.

This is just a distraction from NASA’s primary mission of muslim outreach.

There’s just one tiny little problem about space travel...fuel. Minor, detail, I guess.

[JennysCool]

Unless this somehow benefits Muslims or “underrepresented minorities with a history of repression,” don’t expect any funding in the next three years or so.

From Kitty Hawk to Alpha Centauri in a century? Even I know that’s too good to be true!

[Proud2BeRight]

Interesting but I’m still waiting for that carburetor that will move a 4,500 lb sedan 100mpg.

"I suddenly realized that if you made the thickness of the negative vacuum energy ring larger — like shifting from a belt shape to a donut shape — and oscillate the warp bubble, you can greatly reduce the energy required..."

Of Course! Now why didn't I think of that??? lol

Yet we STILL don’t have flying cars.

[FredZarguna]

We have strong evidence that this will not work.

No one has ever visited us from the future.

I like to see articles like this ..gives me a bit of faith real people will straighten out the mess the fools in government have made

[max americana]

Make it so.

That's a significant change in calculations to say the least. The reduction in mass from a Jupiter-sized planet to an object that weighs a mere 1,600 pounds has completely reset White's sense of plausibility — and NASA's.

While this is a unimaginable improvement in the prospects of interstellar travel let’s not get too excited.

After all we are still talking about an expenditure of unprecedented amounts of energy.

The Hiroshima bomb converted 2/3 of a gram of mass to energy so I don’t see the advent of this kind of travel in my life time.
