NASA Verifies The "Impossible"

SoVi3t · November 4, 2015, 1:12am

This got discussed a long time ago, and NASA has yet again managed to prove this shit works, despite it going against the laws of physics.

People keep telling NASA that their EM Drive thruster is impossible, but they keep finding ways to prove their doubters (and the laws of physics) wrong.
Earlier this year, NASA revealed they were working on a jet thruster that could directly convert electromagnetic energy into thrust by colliding microwaves within a closed container, therefore bypassing the need for propellant and potentially changing the space travel game forever. Physicists rallied to refute the claims made by NASA about their EM Drive, after all, a reactionless engine goes against everything we know about physics.

Tests on the EM Drive have now been carried out by both NASA and independent researchers, and while they were unable to confirm all of the claims made by NASA’s initial announcement, they did confirm that the drive was able to produce thrust in a vacuum.

If all the claims about the EM Drive were to be proven accurate, it could produce thousands of times more thrust than conventional propulsion systems and allow us to reach the moon in just four hours, Mars in 70 days and Pluto in just 18 months. Given the game changing nature of the EM Drive’s potential, it’s not surprising that so much interest is being paid to it.

Bring on lunar vacations and martian whores!

Bravo NASA bravo, space tourism might just be a reality for our generation!

But is space an absolute vacuum??

We’re getting closer guys…

“…To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and civilizations…
… and FUCK them.”

nothing is:

Idk guys, I’m scared. What if this is all a trap by Alien Robot Ships that exist outside the galaxy and wait for us to discover this technology and then come and kill us when we start to use it?

It is a reality now, you just need $100,000 dollars lying around. Lol.

So when do we start building arks to ship off 1 billion chinese and 1 billion indians?

Damn earth to the moon in 4 hours thays godlike

Barry bonds could still be early on a fastball that fast

Mars in 2 months instead of a half year journey. Half a year there, and half a year back. That’s a whole lot of food you need to store on a ship. A lot of fuel you need to take all that food (and spacecraft, and astronauts) out of our orbit. No longer needed, because the trip is that quick.

I can’t imagine going to the moon at lunch time, and being back in time to watch hockey.

BUT MICROWAVES BRUH

DANZAN · November 4, 2015, 1:59am

See the power of science !

I just hope this technology trickles down and we get hand held microwave cannons.
Could you imagine eradicating homelessness with one of those bad boys?

I can finally send my feces into space so i can achieve my dream of shitting on the sun.

jimmy1200 · November 4, 2015, 2:31am

Who gives a shit. The us government been sitting on “advanced flight” technology for decades. This shit only impresses reddit users.
