4 hours to the moon is NOT warp speed. Not even 4 seconds.

It’s in the Daily Mail so it’s gotta be true, yes?

What's the matter with science writers of today?
The first thing he does is to confuse Power Source and Propulsion.
Then throw in Warp Drive, while later in the article they're talking 2/3 light speed tops.
It sounds like a photon rocket using microwaves.
They have been known, theoretically, for many decades.
Anyone who studies rocket propulsion will quickly realize photon rockets would be ideal, is it wasn't for the small matter of a sufficiently powerful energy source.
Solar panels are wimpy in comparison, and won't do much for you in interstellar space.
You can make a science craft to coast the solar system for years, if it can accelerate at 0.0001 g, need much more for space tourism.

The nice thing about light speed is having an excuse for not pulling over.

You might get there in four hours, but can you stop? you will need quite a set of brakes on that ship.

A two gram speck of space rock impacted at 450 million miles an hour should make for an interesting accident report. Speed is one thing; surviving that speed is another thing.

450 million miles an hour? I bet Congress will want the Space Speed Limit to be 55 million miles per hour... to save fuel.😊
