Agency responsible with filling the government's coffers with cutting-edge tech is funding a controversial drive that's based on unproven science.
The law of conservation of momentum says that a rocket (or anything else) can't accelerate forward without some form of exhaust ejected backward. But in 1998, a British engineer named Roger Shawyer announced the seemingly impossible

Plus, the drive is a great way to cook lunch. BFL.
Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
The most plausible explanation for the EM Drive so far is that it generates Unruh radiation as the motive force. If true, it will establish the device as credible and worthy of investment backing and scientific effort.
Major improvements in efficiency should then be possible, spurred by competition between the major aerospace companies and nations. Attention will also be devoted to nuclear power as a way to generate the electricity to power EM Drive engines.
In the modern era, major economic advances require innovations in science and technology. Maybe the EM Drive and cheap, reliable nuclear power will basis for a new age of prosperity and material advances.

It hasn’t disappeared...the claim is the “long road to production”. I’m not saying I believe in it but the research around the world does seem to indicate there’s something odd going on. They’re just not sure how to explain it.
whatever happened to the “Energy Catalyzer” (the “E-Cat”), Andrea Rossi’s claimed cold fusion reactor

What ever became of kevmo?
I have read a potential solution to that. She ship creates its own dust projected ahead of it, to obliterate the dust that is in the path of the ship. A sort of Dust shield.
