I find this a little hard to believe.
But then, I ain’t no Rocket Surgeon, so I guess it could be.

Yah, would like to try the buffet at Milliway's - cheaper than the McD's dollar menu by far - but am gonna avoid the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Too wild for my taste.

Inertia dampening field like in Star Trek.
Plays heck on the crew if it fails though.

WHat about the one where you set off nuclear explosions in your wake that propel you along?

But don't forget... you have to put instant coffee in the microwave ovens for it to work.

well when its going THAT fast... just put up a sail. More wind than you can ever want!!! I’m getting this thing now. It might just work.
To: ThomasMore
It would use constant acceleration to the halfway point then flip 180 degrees and use the same constant acceleration to slow down. Stop on a dime in moon or Pluto orbit orbit.

Cheaper than the tanker fleets of brewing tea to test it.

Solar power? Not going to be of much use for interstellar travel, then. Good for puttering around the inner reaches of this solar system.
If this thing really “works” it needs to be developed as an earthbound power source.
To: wally_bert; lapsus calami
tanker fleets of brewing teaNo, no!! For the Brownian motion needed by the improbability drive all you need is a cup of advanced tea substitute. You can get that from any Nutrimatic Drinks Dispenser*..
Of course, if you do want real tea while you're out there, maybe those tankers of tea would come in handy..
*Available from your local Sirius Cybernetics Corporation dealer..

Read all those books.
Pretty neat way to travel the galaxy....take the

Well, that sort of news would make a certain Mr. Dent happy. Quite happy.
