Another area we excel in but what ever happened to that HOTOL propulsion system. ?

You'll all be mighty relieved to hear that both my legs are fine... and that I'm not called Dave.

Warp drive! at last - to the moon in under 4 hours exciting indeed

Bloody hell, exciting times ahead! Hopefully testing will go better than those tests conducted in the 1997 film, Event Horizon.
Fingers crossed.
:-P

Been around for a while in a few different guises. Doesn't actually break any laws of physics as its exasperated inventor keeps screaming from the top of his lungs to be ignored by people.
One to keep an eye on but this feels very much like the idea that neutrinos travelled faster than light - there's so much potential error in the experiments that you'll need to wait a few months for more tests to be ran by other parties before deciding whether to get excited or not.
The principle is pretty simple really to think of. Think of how that guy flies using soundwaves in X-Men - it's essentially that but a billion times more complicated

When I first heard the story one of the things I read was an article where a reporter asked a physicist his view on it and he said that he'd put his mortgage on a spaceship based on this technology being built in this lifetime at 1%.
Gutted. :((
GET THAT WORMHOLE SORTED NASA STOP FUCKING ABOUT WITH EM DRIVE SHIT!

Just to be clear - I'm not suggesting that this doesn't work, only that the current experiment ran had a big potential for error in it and it needs now to be replicated across many different labs and environments.
The grandiose claims made in the popular press about it "reinventing physics" are, as always, total bullshit. The day that something does come along and break such a fundamental law such as the conservation of momentum then it won't be Wired or the Daily Mail that breaks the story
