RE: Future Technologies: The EM Space Drive and How it Might Revolutionize Space Travel

in #science8 years ago

Awaiting to see what the Cannae-Drive folks do with it. I'm skeptical EmDrive will scale, but I try to be optimistic. :) Alcubierre drive is my favourite of far-out propulsion techniques. More realistic is Starshot though - reaching Alpha Centauri in half a century is a realistic goal. At least for tiny bots...

Yeah I agree about Starshot being the most realistic, and that one can probably win a lot of popular appeal with Stephen Hawking and Yuri Milner working on it. Keeping my fingers crossed on this one though! Is there a major difference between Shawyer's prototypes and the Cannae one? Everywhere I read about it just says theyre really similar.
