Warp speed ahead...
William Henning - Friday, January 6th, 2006 | 2:19PM (PT)


There is a report of a proposed new space drive.

The Reg reports that the US military is considering testing the principles behind a proposed space drive.

Nonetheless, the so-called "hyperdrive" concept won last year's American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics award for the best nuclear and future flight paper. Among its defenders is aerospace engineer Pavlos Mikellides, from the Arizona State University in Tempe. Mikellides, who reviewed the winning paper, said: "Even though such features have been explored before, this particular approach is quite unique."

Sounds good so far.

Unfortunately New Scientist reports that physicists contacted by them could not make sense of the description of the theory behind the experiment.

Let's hope the description was just poor; I for one would love to see a real space drive. But I'm not holding my breath.
