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

With an object so close you wouldn’t want to get full acceleration going, I would think.

First generation technology is always clumsy and compared with its potential.

If I read it right, the EM drive could continuously propel a vehicle forward. Okay, build up speed with a drive that provides constant acceleration. So. What about slowing down? They still have to do with mass and velocity and what it is going to take to not splatter on the moon.

I’d suggest the flight drive curve would look like a narrow bell curve with the second half “propelling in the reverse direction”. Hardly a ‘warp’ drive.

FIRST, that is sick!! is that true? well, why would you lie lol. Crazy speeds.

Some suggest the EmDrive is set to become one of many wonderful British inventions which — for lack of investment and vision — end up being hijacked by someone else.///

The tank and computers? Well, that’s what happens when you become a socialist utopia. There is never and may never be a country as innovative and adaptable as the United States. It’s amazing what being a republic and having capitalism can do to a nation.

No. You’re right, It is according to an article I read last week, 10% C. That’s alpha centuri in 40 years.

But WOW! If it is real

Warp speed is considered traveling at the speed of light- 186,000 miles per second.
