TD: I was speaking to someone last year at NASA (because I was trying to track you down for a different Warp story I was writing), and they told me at the time that you left for the private sector and took your entire body of work on Warp propulsion with you. Is that accurate?

SW: Yeah, I have a lab here full of all my goodies from NASA. And so, we have a space act agreement with the agency. And as part of that, we have all the lab equipment at Eagleworks over here.

TD: All intellectual property, everything? You were able to take everything with you?

SW: Yeah. When I was working in NASA, we really didn’t try to go through and patent anything. Almost everything we worked on while at NASA fits into the category of Basic and Applied Science.

Absolutely ridiculous. Can NASA even send astronauts into orbit anymore?
They’re too busy with Muslim outreach and global warming.
Musk’s SpaceX is the future.

NASA does nothing anymore without first doing a Major Diversity Study

NASA now is primarily a politically driven jobs program !

But after Musk makes some significant achievements, ... the not so smart givernment bureaucrats at the behest of the political vermin will move in, pile on regulations, and then take over the enterprise. US Givernment will then talk to the Chinese telling them they will give them the technology in the spirit of humanity, to show the US is really a good guy and means them no harm. Maybe fund research labs and launch pads inside China.

As Congress understands it, the primary role of NASA is to funnel billions in cash to politically connected contractors like ULA and Boeing who don't produce working systems.

Musk said he will allow no earth govt to have any power over his independent Martian dictatorship

“The self licking ice cream cone” term was originated by a NASA Engineer who could no longer participate in the agency due to waste, fraud, and incompetence. None of which seemed to be of any concern to congress which seemed more focused on keeping the money coming aplenty instead of how it was being lost. I mean laundered.

First use will most likely be with AI robots to visit the outer planets and test the probability of humans surviving the trip.

A great adventure...I (probably) won’t be around to see it.

I left NASA in ‘97, the stench was getting to be too much. Most of the competents were on their way out. By 2000 the career admin types and hack were all that was left. Given that contractors do all the actual work NASA was then about 60% overstuffed. The O-ring debacle decided it for me but it took a couple of years to do it properly with no ragged ends.

Now they have to go back and rewrite Star Trek canon and make Zefram Cochrane black. That will probably get more pushback than the 1619 project.

I thought the warp-drive mathematical model was developed on the Afican continent some centuries ago, and those dang Greeks came and stole it from them. Now I find out the truth. It was a Mexican!

“significant leaps were made in Warp Drive theory, seemingly making the impossible a little more possible”

Lol, what, he figured out that you maybe could do it with just all the energy from our Sun, rather than all the energy from our galaxy?

Guy’s built a whole career feeding into peoples’ fantasies though, so I guess good for him. Easier than doing productive science.
