Recently retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Steven L. Kwast gave a lecture last month that seems to further signal that the next major battlefield will be outer space. While military leadership rattling the space sabers is nothing new, Kwast’s lecture included comments that heavily hint at the possibility that the United States military and its industry partners may have already developed next-generation technologies that have the potential to drastically change the aerospace field, and human civilization, forever. Is this mere posturing or could we actually be on the verge of making science fiction a reality?
*snip*
Kwast delivered a lecture at Hillsdale College in Washington, D.C. on November 20, 2019, titled “The Urgent Need for a U.S. Space Force.” Kwast’s wide-ranging speech described the power of new technologies to revolutionize humankind, referencing the competitive advantage the discovery of fire offered to early humans and the strategic value that nuclear weapons offered 20th-century superpowers. When it comes to current revolutionary technologies, Kwast says the “the power of space will change world power forever” and that it’s up to the United States military to leverage that power...
Around the 12:00 mark in the speech, Kwast makes the somewhat bizarre claim that the U.S. currently possesses revolutionary technologies that could render current aerospace capabilities obsolete:
"The technology is on the engineering benches today. But most Americans and most members of Congress have not had time to really look deeply at what is going on here. But I’ve had the benefit of 33 years of studying and becoming friends with these scientists. This technology can be built today with technology that is not developmental to deliver any human being from any place on planet Earth to any other place in less than an hour."

“Isolating you from gravity means you have no mass, and limiting to the speed of light is because at that speed, you have infinite mass and can’t accelerate an infinite mass. So, if you can isolate/shield from gravity, you can move with essentially no limit. According to Hal Putoff. . .”
How about instead you isolate your space from the space around it? In that case you are not affected by the gravity, time, distance and mass within the external space. The more energy applied to the isolation the greater the extent of manipulation of the external space experienced by your space.
You win the internets today!
Or some one was there long before we got there ... and was waiting. There is an unsourced quote by N. Armstrong that there were ships there watching them from a crater rim.
Beside having brave people willing to take the risks, there are ways of overcoming radiation, like there were ways of overcoming the frontier hazards in the 1800s, so that’s not the answer, nor is a simple loss of political will.
Another guy said: Scifi shows like Star Trek - we've been there done that.
Still another guy said: we have the capability to take ET home.
There are perhaps other astonishing quotes about where tech really is now, if any of them are actually true then all the stuff we see touted as the latest and greatest in tech today is just the tip of a very large ice burg.
All of the above references are quoted in multiple places elsewhere - the curious just need to look.
Here's the original story:
Recently Retired USAF General Makes Eyebrow Raising Claims About Advanced Space Technology
Retired Lt. Gen. Steven L. Kwast says fantastic technology exists that could transport a human anywhere on earth within an hour.

LOL!
Either way, I would expect such a revelation...once proven true...would be cause for an instantaneous, collective 'head' explosion of the Teamsters and other transportation organizations.
As fighter pilots will say, "Speed is life."
>>>He wanted to see if it made sense, and his professor was intrigued by the idea that “force fields” provided propulsion, and protected occupants from inertial forces<<<
Like a Warp Field. That’s why the Starship USS Enterprise wasn’t equipped with Seat Belts.
Best of the Season to you and yours.
Good story.
The Military Industrial Complex gotta eat!
so how much did the chinese walk away with during the los alamos fires?
I work with a guy who is retired from 32 years in the air force. He too has seen it all. I try to press him on what he knows. He cant give straight answers but he always gets a weird look in his eye. Sometimes he will say that he has seen things that are extremely advanced. He also claims that he has seen with his own eyes “alien technology” that the military has. Then he gets a scary look in his eyes and gets quiet. Also states that us military is far more advanced than any other nation on earth.
Tic Tac UFOs?
Earth to Earth rocket transport.
You follow science and come up with that?
OK.
+1
There are no aliens on the moon and radiation is not comparable to frontier hazards in the 1800’s.
I almost... honestly man your reply concerns me I don’t even know what else to say
News to me. Isolating you from gravity means you have no weight, maybe?
Where might I read about this?
So? Why shouldn't it be?
