I like the idea of not existing any life-form beyond our's in the universe. Kind of make feel proud for something I didn't contributed to in the little. Like football.

Warp Drive
That is all

_{yes i realize it probably won't pan out. i don't care}

not sure if this belongs here, but Kerbal Space Program was fully released today.

Why would it? They'd have no cultural context to even know anything about the Nazis. As far as an unaware observer would be concerned it's just a series of competitions of physical prowess, presided over by a state comprised of people who are long-dead.

Or they could think it is a training montage sent as a threat.

Couldn't be a training montage. Eye of the Tiger hadn't been recorded yet.

[WillowLuman]

No mention of the (probably too good to be true) accidental warp bubble?

No, not a warp drive. Looks cool, but the EmDrive is not a warp drive.

[10ebbor10]

Anyway Progress is currently spinning out of control.

Well that's not good.

[LordBaal]

Nasa working on a EmDrive? That's really fishy, I thought the EmDrive concept was discarded a long time ago as a hoax not different from a perpetual motion machine.

Even then, for starters we don't require going faster than light. Enough velocity to make the travel around different parts of the solar system a matter of days/weeks would suffice for the time being.

It's non published, non peer reviewed research. Physics as we know it says it shouodn't work.

It just might though, do we'll have to wait till they publish it. Dont get to execited though, remember the FTL neutrino's.

I think Padme's death in Star Wars III was pretty stupid.

[LordBaal]

That's... really odd to post here, are you sure you didn't meant to post that on the nitpicks that ruined movies thread?

However I agree with you, I rather think that is not that stupid "she doesn't want to live anymore" reason, but more a thing of crushed larynx preventing blood going to the brain or something.


On topic, yeah, I completely and dully expect this to be another hoax or jump from the gun the media has us used to. Most likely when they repeat the experiment on vacuum they'll discover that it was the air after all or that it's a error on the measurement or something along those lines.

It would be awesome however if true AND really applicable in a practical way to space travel. It could open up a whole new level of resources to the human race to exploit. We could really lay the foundations for a unified human empire across the stars.

Out of curiosity, what kind of force could you get from pushing off the Earth's magnetic field?

I took this sentence at face value before I clicked the link, not noticing the capital 'P'. Now it reads like an ironic newspaper headline. On a similarly spinning newspaper, cartoon style with drumroll.
