    I hope it is not a hoax. It's official: NASA's peer-reviewed EM Drive paper has finally been published - ScienceAlert[^]

      As I recall, a few articles on Cold Fusion also passed peer review, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere today. (It would be very cool if it did...)

      If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

          It probably creates tears in the space-time continuum and we'll be restricted to speeds below Warp 6. ;) Marc

            Now if only astronauts could withstand being subjected to solar and cosmic radiation for 140 days!

                Would it help if you moved parallel with the planet you lifted off from -- so that you'd always have your ass covered by it blocking the sun? :~ A sort of spiral move increasing the radius but keeping the overall trajectory aligned with the planet. And then hijacking the next trajectory when you reach the next planet so that there is always something big covering your ass.

                  That seems like it would work for as long as you are within the planet's umbra, but as soon as you are any real distance from the planet you'd be exposed. The Earth's umbra extends a few hundred thousand miles, but Mars is millions of miles away, not thousands.

                            I'm literally seeing microwaves bouncing now. The kind of microwave you use to warm up your leftover pizza :D I'm not sure if pizza is on the space approved foods list of NASA though. It better be, pizza == life. I like pizza. Pizza.

                              I would think that the first problem would be to get the pizza delivery guy through astronaut training. I doubt that they could deliver it within 30 minutes, though. :laugh:

                                In case you've missed the hype, the EM Drive, or Electromagnetic Drive, is a propulsion system first proposed by British inventor Roger Shawyer back in 1999.

                                I wonder how long it will be before the phrase "British inventor Roger Shawyer" is replaced with other things. Probably just after final, ultimate, incontestable proof that it works.

                                      The Great Lord Cthulhu and I agree, but it's still better than no pizza at all :)

                                      Read my (free) ebook Object-Oriented Programming in C# Succinctly. Visit my blog at Sander's bits - Writing the code you need. Or read my articles here on CodeProject.

                                        That seems like it would work for as long as you are within the planet's umbra, but as soon as you are any real distance from the planet you'd be exposed. The Earth's umbra extends a few hundred thousand miles, but Mars is millions of miles away, not thousands.

                                        The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

                                        Then we need to genetically engineer ourselves to be resistant to radiation.

                                          Yes, and the only way to do that is to stop vaccinating our children. :laugh:
