“If the EM drive works....”
****************************************
It DOES work...that has been established. NASA’s contribution was to determine that it also works in a vacuum. The current problem is developing an understanding of WHY IT WORKS. NOBODY (as far as I know) understands WHY it works. There are various conjectures as to why & how it works but none have yet been proven. This is the type of thing to which I hope Trump has NASA devote reallocated resources. The efforts would be far worthier than their current MASSIVE waste of resources spent trying to promote the Man-caused global warming hoax or trying to make Muslims feel better about themselves.

Actually we still don’t know if it does work. The amount of thrust generated is well into the experimental error range. Nor have any of the experiments designed to scale up the effect generated the expected thrust. I’ve been following the EM drive for years and so far it appears to be a bust.

I’d put no faith in Chinese claims. Chinese scientists and academics are the biggest frauds in the world.
