Last in a sentence the German verb is likely to be.

Yeah, I had to read a couple of the sentences a few times.
Interesting article.

And what have you got against Yoda? LOL
Frankly, in a scientific article like this, I'd like a little less Yoda.

Ten times out a higher flow rate?I'm pretty sure that means 10x the thrust per/measured fuel consumtion?That would be a break through.

Ten times out a higher flow rate?I'm pretty sure that means 10x the thrust per/measured fuel consumtion?That would be a break through. I think it's more complicated than that. Thrust requires two things: energy and 'stuff'. Increasing the flow rate reduces the amount of 'stuff', but energy is still required. On the other hand, the energy might be obtained via means that don't normally expel large amounts of "stuff".

ROTFLMBO! This sounds like the Chinese waitress in the restaurant down the street trying to explain rocket technology!

It's easier if you read it to understand real fast. Although I didn't know what meant was by grass-sourly.

I think a plasma drive (or more than one) has been tested in space. They still need to be launched from Earth using conventional rockets, but are literally the only technology that can be built today which could push a (very durable) probe to another star system within a sort of reasonable time frame.
