But before it ever gets done Obama will cut the budget and Scotty will be going nuts with repairs.

If it is faster than light, how can they keep up with it to build it....

[humblegunner]

I call BS.

Never saw any NASA logos on the Enterprise.

Ye cannoh change the laws of PHYSICS, Cap’n.

[C210N]

Can’t NASA complete the prior mission before going off and spending money on a new one?

I want to know how the current project is going... the one that is in search for extra-terrestrial 72-virgin life?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Do you think they will ever discover the salt monster out there?

[dfwgator]

[Lou L]

are trying to prove that it is possible to travel faster than the speed of light,

Without any shred of evidence that it's possible to do so, they're going to "try to prove" something by building something??

[ElkGroveDan]

That’s a really stupid headline. The very basic research they are doing is not even close to any application. What they are doing is building a device to research how to alter the trajectory of photons in certain ways. All the other hype is based on the implications of the concepts involved if taken to the nth degree.

I really hate irresponsible media hype.

[GraceG]

Well the skunk works is usually 30-50 years ahead of what is publically released....

We probably already have these...

Given the way government works and what we learned about the NSA.... the people who have been saying we have moon bases are probably wrong, we probably have bases on mars and alpha centari too.....

[The Duke]

So, what happens when you run into a speck of cosmic dust at that speed? Hmmm.....

[Raycpa]

Can’t we solve global warming before we control space time?

[Mr. K]

They just need to use the gravcity-wave engine Bob Lazaar worked on at Area 51 from the crashed alien spacecraft

[Billthedrill]

Don’t worry, it doesn’t work. Faster-than-light speed and the resulting time travel didn’t happen until March 2026. Don’t ask how I know that.

(and just for the record, I do believe it is true 100% - NOT kidding)

Can you say

BOONDOGGLE

And people wonder why I'm critical of NASA. We have this, and the proposal to kill barred owls to allow spotted owls more mice. We have the executive prosecution of Zimmerman, We have police managing to violate the third amendment, etc. Just when you think it can't get any more absurd, the government proves that it CAN get more absurd. If they're going to waste mone (if ha ha) then why not fo it in style like a bridge to nowhere in Ketchikan Alaska (Oops they've already done that)

[Hardraade]

They have already perfected the FTL drive. It burns money at twice the speed of light.

Seems like an interesting idea, especially at a time when we can't get our own people off the planet,
and we're hurtling like a herd of turtles to fix it.

[airborne]

Misleading title.

The only thing NASA is doing is looking for more money by proposing another pie-in-the-sky idea that the government is (in)famous for.

As long as 0-bomb-a is running the show, NASA will be nothing more than a political dog and pony show.

[Buckeye McFrog]

and this is going to make Muslims feel better about themselves HOW exactly?

[xp38]

Once again the star trek time line history has been tampered with. No mention of Zefram Cochran at all.
