How long until it can be used in an actual spaceship? I was too lazy to read the entire thing.

It'll be another year or two of just making sure they actually did this right the first time.

Like that time when we thought we saw a neutrino going FTL, but it turned out the clock was wrong.

I hate reading "future tech" crap.

Apparently everything you've ever imagined is coming in just a few short years!

Eh. At least we've got this thing that'll take us to the moon 24 times faster than the fastest thing a human ever rode in.

Still takes over four years to get to Centauri.

Not good enough.

well there was also this, but I'm not convinced yet -- been burned by calibration errors one too many times.

If it isn't an error, then that means something created that warp bubble. From what I know about the stuff, that means negative energy. If I'm marginally correct there, and there is no error, this is the most important discovery since discovering things. Of course, it's probably an error.

warp drive motherfuckers it's on


Warpstar 1 is a joke.

Think about its line of thrust/gravity and where the floor is.

Now notice the instrument-panel is suspended from a side-wall about 60 feet off the 'floor'.

There also happens to be a whole-room sized trapdoor in the floor exiting straight into space.
-Stop and think about that when it's propelled at twice what we consider normal gravity.

That's pretty impressive when you consider that Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe took three years.

The rum ran out at the point of no return.

And so they sang.
