The problem is, as New Scientist explains, it's entirely theoretical and many physicists admit they don't understand the science behind it.
No reason to stop exploring the idea. Theory leads to discovey.
BTW, ckilmer, you should've edited out the ads.

I have no idea what they're talking about here, and I note the skepticism, but something new in the way of space travel machinery is needed.

it would seem, if it works, the next phase would be to reverse the magnetic field to slow / generate orbit of the vehicle, otherwise no reverse magnetic field no slow down / no orbit of mass via vehicle.
if there is propulsion then that propulsion should be able to be reversed.

The only fine point left out may be the human body's ability to withstand the G-Forces. Without quantum leaps in the field of technology, the human body will be unable to fly at the acceleration point, or am I wrong?
I can't volunteer for this one!!!

Interesting if mars was 50 million miles you would need to travel about 25% the speed of light to make that time!

I remember reading reports in the late 1980's, of two Canadian scientists working on "anti-gravity" motors. Same type of work, fast rotating masses of metal above superconducting coils, that seemingly cancelled out gravity. I thought it wouldn't be long before we had flying saucers going to Mars. But I didn't hear anything more about these scientists in the last 15 years. (Unless they built a ship and took off for distant worlds!)

ALTERNATE DRIVE:

THE THEORY:
Basically: Cats always land on their feet, toast always falls butter side down. What happens when you attach a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat and then drop it?
The most common conclusion is that the cat/toast amalgam will fall to within a few inches of the floor, and then the speed of decent will decrease, as the two forces try to out-strain each other. This will (theoretically) cause hovering. In addition, as the cat struggles to get its feet to the floor, spinning may occur.
