All it takes is a substantial supply of Dilithium crystals and huge reserves of Unobtanium.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You forgot the flux capacitor. 🤡

Warped Ping!.................

[crusty old prospector]

You go first.

[CaptainK]

I just want my local train to run on time.

[Buttons12]

The aliens told them how to do it!

[Tell It Right]

But can we find enough of any kind of crystals for NASA to build a bridge to the Muslim world? And will we find intelligent life there?

[Libloather]

Will this keep the ice cream completely frozen on the way home from Piggly Wiggly? Can’t stand that.

[Nateman]

There is plenty of room for expansion within our own Solar System. Moving onwards towards other stars can wait until people like Democrats eventually ruin the entire Solar System.

[Bayard]

Unless its built and tested and works I don’t believe it. But regardless you aren’t testing that on earth.

[Red Badger]

I hope they figure out how to:

As soon as they build one of these contraptions it will implode during the first full scale test, sucking the entire solar system into it, relieving lurking aliens of an onerous chore.

Things have been warped in the USA since Woodrow Wilson, since FDR, since the “War On Poverty, and since the democRATS and DemoKKKrats embraced communism.

[Red Badger]

Can you imagine the first crew to use this engine, even in a test?

You start it and suddenly you find yourself in the Oort Cloud or worse.

Then you have to find your way back................
