  • Chinese Say They're Building 'Impossible' Space Drive | Danger Room | Wired.com

    From the page: "The biggest difference is in propellant: NSTAR uses 10 grams per hour; the Emdrive uses none. As long as it has an electricity supply, the Emdrive will keep going. The possibilities are phenomenal: Instead of going out of service when they run out of fuel, satellites would... more

    This is a brilliant CIA ruse to make the Chinse waste billions of dollars on an impossible space drive technology. I love it. These type of double-agent ploys worked so well on the Russians.

    The electromagnetic drive is being built by the Chinese. I look forward to seeing where this goes!

    Talk about the typical pessimism from the majority of the scientific community. The only way to make advancements of drastic measure is to push against the boundaries of what was once thought to be impossible. If it were me, I'd be trying to figure out if a drive like this were plausible, not just saying it's all wrong. If this makes it, I want to know more about how it works.

    This may transform the economics of satellites, open up new possibilities for space exploration.

    Yet to be actualized, this would be a major advancement in space travel technology!

    Germany around WW2 said they had wheat that would grow in snow and other such fake scientific achievements. It is what happens when Science is dictated by a communist leader that demands the impossible with threat of nasty death.

    Microwaves in, thrust out? It's not exactly clear how or if this new space drive produces thrust, but if it does, it could radically change how we explore the solar system in the coming decades.

    Interesting take on old idea. "The proof is in the pudding" as they say. I'm leaning towards some flawed data from poorly conducted research and computations. But the only way to know for sure is a (non)working model. If they are successful, this will allow some interests to quickly move ahead, though I seriously doubt the lid could be kept closed on something like this.

    Whatever, build one that works then we can talk ...
