    Default Cannae Drive technology breakthrough

    http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/1/595...mising-results

    NASA has been testing new space travel technologies throughout its entire history, but the results of its latest experiment may be the most exciting yet — if they hold up. Earlier this week at a conference in Cleveland, Ohio, scientists with NASA's Eagleworks Laboratories in Houston, Texas, presented a paper indicating they had achieved a small amount of thrust from a container that had no traditional fuels, only microwaves, bouncing around inside it. If the results can be replicated reliably and scaled up — and that's a big "if," since NASA only produced them on a very small scale over a two-day period — they could ultimately result in ultra-light weight, ultra fast spacecraft that could carry humans to Mars in weeks instead of months, and to the nearest star system outside our own (Proxima Centurai) in just about 30 years.



    ill see you ******s on Europa.

    30 years to our next solar system. Thats pretty crazy when you think about it. This could hold our key to becoming a galactic civilization.

    Exciting times, humanity definitely needs this to avoid becoming like the dinosaurs.

    Sounds exciting, but I remember being excited about "Cold Fusion" 25 years ago or so.

    Phaw! Columbus. He gets credit for "discovering" America, yet Vikings were in Oklahoma 400 years before he even set sail!

    Which crew did you roll with? Or were the Vikings before your time?
