Space drives!

Was wondering what you guys think of the alternative propulsion that these guys are getting results with:

That first one they talk about sounds pretty exciting since its been tested by NASA already.

Now I know we already have time travel tech on the planet so why bother with this stuff, but I'm not complaining that they're already talking about reaching our nearest solar neighbour in only 30 years with this tech that already passed a proof of concept test.

Daniel, are they messing with some stuff that could cause harm to the reciprocal structure/environment with that first drive they were talking about in the video? It sounds like they're tapping into the interactions and balances between "timespace" and "spacetime" flows which might cause "wakes" like waterboats do - and if intense enough, those "timespace" wakes might do things we don't like. I dunno what I'm talking about - but something tells me I would prefer consciousness-based technology over the manipulation or exploitation of the reciprocal structure of time and space.

Yes, they are messing with the interface layer between the material and cosmic sectors, but it won't go very far--50 microNewtons of thrust would not move a fly on the wall. Most of that report appears to be jargon to get grant money.

If you want to travel the stars, you have to take Goethe's advice... observe nature and copy it. In this case, study how a pulsar works, as it moves in an anti-gravity fashion.

Wow never thought of looking at it like that.

Quite a bit to chew on there.
