    • Ok, so reading the article I came across this “Hopefully, they will all go on to do what NIAC does best – change the possible.” I don’t know why but it bothers me.
      Our local middle school had a program where the kids worked on projects to grow food on mars. Big plans for the moon, mars and asteroids, yet so few spaceships to get there. And how much material can be hauled a few spaceships at a time.

      • What they do best – change the possible” our intent makes the possible happen, we cause the change. They are using esoteric knowledge, programmed reality.

      Look at these guys – Mach Effects for In Space Propulsion: Interstellar Mission, Heidi Fearn, Space Studies Inst itute in Mojave, California

      ” Mach Effect Thruster (MET) propulsion is based on peer-reviewed, technically credible physics.”

      and……

      “The MET device is not a rocket, it does not expel fuel mass, and does not suffer from the velocity restriction of rockets. Freedom from the need to expel propellant means very high velocities might be achievable simply by providing electrical power and adequate heat rejection for the drive system.”

      Wasnt someone somewhere talking about heat dissipation in Diamonds… hang on….

      “A mission to Planet 9 is possible in the near future using RTG power and thruster arrays.” (THEIR words not mine… ‘is possible’…)
