Golly, I was on this, now where did I put that pile of negative mass I found????
“As he explained, a thicker warp shell would reduce the strain on spacetime, thus allowing a spacecraft to achieve speeds of up to 10 times the speed of light (10 c) using only two metric tons (2.2 U.S. tons) of exotic matter:”
I suggest they try dilithium crystals...
Ouch!!!! My head hurts...........
“Give me Warp factor 10, Mr Scot.”
“i dunno if the engines can handle it, Captain!”
“That’s an order, Mr Scot!”
Just a shame that I won’t live long enough to see all this brought to reality. I grew up with Heinlein, Asimov, Phillip K Dick, and all the others. I’ve been waiting on FTL flight for most of my life.
sigh...
Y’all can go first.
You really want me to read that?
Going right away to put this in my “Light Readng for Quiet Time in front of the Fireplace in My Cozy Robe with a Cup o’ Hot Tea” file.

It will only take 2 tons of exotic matter to power a warp drive that can do 10X the speed of light.
The exotic matter will only cost $6 quadrillion dollars per gram.
I say, let’s go for it!
Only 41 years til Zephram Cochrane invents the warp drive.
I’d be thrilled with <$2/gal. travel.
Where do I go to get that?
Find a Worm Hole and do time travel.
Several thousand year old cave drawings show UFO’s that look just like some of the contemporary UFO sightings. (They call them UAP’s today, Unidentified Ariel Phenomena)
Hard to believe they haven’t improved them in those thousands of years. Time travel ???
Normally we assume space to be very empty, but at speeds approaching the speed of light I just wonder of physical objects in space might be a showstopper(?)
A classic one-trick pony...
I tell you, there's nothing that can't be done with two tons of unobtanium.
What’s the point? We have a perfectly good planet right here.
Besides, the Californians will move there and screw it up.
