Now, I am an absolute fervent believer that NASA landed on the moon a half-dozen times. There is no doubt in my mind.

But if NASA continues shilling some cockamamie theory about faster than Warp Drive then I might have to re-evaluate NASA's pragmatic state of mind and it's soon to be carted out era of faster than bull shiete ludicrous speed that Mel Brooks claimed he could do and join the ranks of moon landing deniers.

Well there has been some very interesting research into the possibility of warping space without the need for enormous mass. It takes a LOT of power but there has been nanometer scale warping of space through electromagnetism.

i like the photo, the theory of above "C" travel
is impossible right now.. maybe Orion can work.

interesting stuff. thanks for posting.

Great, NASA to send IS to the moon faster.

The “Alcubierre drive” is a mathematical premise for allowing space-time in a general relativity context to be stretched behind a ship and contracted ahead of is, therefore accelerating it forward without actually moving the ship itself. Since it isn’t really moving through space according to special relativity, but rather space itself is moving, it should be able to go faster than light.

One problem is that it requires a lot of energy, more than our sun can produce, for example. The only thing NASA is working on is a way to reduce that energy requirement. Another problem is that something called “exotic matter” is needed, but doesn’t exist. It has negative mass and therefore negative energy density, allowing space-time geometry to be manipulated in the manner that is required.

I very sincerely regret having inadvertently omitted this rather unimpressive visual that accompanied this article.

One of the things which fascinates me, mainly because I don’t really understand it is I have seen more than once that Einstein claimed that if you were riding a light wave, exactly no time would take place from the time you left until you arrived. This could be billions and billions of light years distant.

Couldn’t this somehow be used?

Heh, the article is really just a tease.

Yipee! Warp Drive in 2014!

You think planes are bad....try living on a submarine.

“using radio waves to INI’s and heat a propellant”

This is all I needed to see from this article.
