Warp Drive - Tenet Nosce - 09-17-2012
YESSSSSS!
NASA Starts Work on Real Life Star Trek Warp Drive
Quote:"Perhaps a Star Trek experience within our lifetime is not such a remote possibility." These are the words of Dr. Harold "Sonny" White, the Advanced Propulsion Theme Lead for the NASA Engineering Directorate. Dr. White and his colleagues don't just believe a real life warp drive is theoretically possible; they've already started the work to create one.

Hopefully we don't have to wait till 2150 for first contact or hitting Warp 5, like in Star Trek Enterprise.
They'll have a lot to overcome. Inertia at Warp speed could kill you. And meteorites and spacedust at that speed would cause much damage to the ship.
Hopefully the races that we encounter aren't so hostile.

I should have said the acceleration to warp speed too quickly could kill you due to G forces. That is unless they find out a way to negate inertia from acceleration. Or if this warp drive bends space to where the craft doesn't actually accelerate, that would get around the inertia problem.

The warp bubble moves, but not what is within. The space itself inside of it moves.
