EM drive just passed peer review

Maybe we should have the ships piloted by cockroaches! :laugh:

They run our country why not try ships?

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

Will it have ludicrous speed[^] though? :D

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

Quote:
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.

Get some frozen pizza. You have plenty of microwaves to heat and eat them later! :doh:

FROZEN pizza?! That is an abomination in the sight of <insert your favourite deity here>! BURN THE HERETIC! :)

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

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.

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:

Or build the proper shielding... Seems like we could reflectively shield it a bit. Maybe that stuff they put in the window of a mircrowave oven :-)

Or engineer a pseudo-human to take the trip and start a colony... Perhaps that's what the artificial intelligence projects are all about. Couple an AI computer to a robotic, self driving device, shoot it off to Mars. Viola! Martians. ;P

The radiation will take care of the genetic engineering :)
