Dr. David Whitehouse?

In what field, dipshitology?

There's so much wrong in this anthology of fiction that it's hard to pick any one statement, but my favorite piece of dreck is:

Also, the starship and its crew would be weightless and would therefore not be crushed by the enormous G-forces of acceleration and deceleration.

This doesn't need saying, but weightlessness is the consequence of "G-forces" being zero. So our estimable author/expert asserts what... that the zero accelation condition experienced by the imaginary crew is also enormous.

Enormously nonexistent?

Infinitely infinitesimal?

What utterly an irrational psuedo-intellect.

And they still haven't built the damn thing?
