Check out this inflatable version!

this could have the alternative effect of causing drag on the solar stream and switch off planetary turn.

i think they would be like any geo stationary satellite just with a long rope :)

Would cost to much to go nowhere + the size of the bottom would be colossal in size so it would require a vast amount of resources which humanity does not have. SpaceX is going in the right direction.

but it makes it into orbit, that's where all the revenue is. seems once you get it going its like the difference between a railroad and a stage coach.

Also works for deep space travel. Vessels can be built in space.

I'm so up for this. Always liked the idea of space travel but was put off by fear of the rockets bursting into flames. Getting an elevator up to a space station seems much more civilized. Hopefully there will be synth music and nice views on the way up.

Wasn't that lift idea in that movie ? errr what's it called... the one where two guys put on special glasses and can see the real world underneath the one we see. ? my memory after a dooby ....tut tut ...it's gone gone ...:)

This is a great idea that just needs a champion like Musk

Why hasn't one emerged I wonder? What are the main problems?

1. there is nowhere worth going within a feasible distance for doing this.
2. fuck total recall.
3. see 1.

axis_of_elvis

it would kinda work as an upper atmosphere platform, would make launches easier.

Scientists Are Starting to Take Warp Drives Seriously

https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-are-starting-to-take-warp-drives-seriously-especially-this-one-concept

why move a spaceship when you can move space?

Thanks, I looked this up because, well Trekkie here and I couldn't believe it. It turns out the drive was conceived in the 1990s in Mexico City. It reconciles with Einstein's field equations and has only gained momentum since. Here is a vid.

haha awesome.
i wouldn't be surprised if they call it hyperspace when this becomes reality.

bubba2488

it's insane to think what life is going to be like in like 30 years time. sound like old men saying "I remember when we used to only have smartphones and aeroplanes!"

Did the warp drive just get invented?

Did the warp drive just get invented?

http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2015/04/nasa-may-have-accidentally-developed-a-warp-drive/

Nasa built the Em drive for efficiency but it appears to be emitting the space-time signature of a warp drive.

This could be our ticket!

$e^{i \pi} + 1 = 0$

e^{i \pi} + 1 = 0

This wasn't "just invented" though, British Engineer Roger Shawyer invented it 5 years ago and licensed the tech to Nasa.

assasinX

Don't matter son, that Em drives got the same sticker on it as my Chevy - Made in Texas.

Yeah? My Chevy was made in Mexico which is where the warp drive was actually invented.

Hopefully the warp drive will give us a little bigger (pun not intended) perspective than you guys have. What hope do we have for getting out of the solar system when you think there is a difference between humans on different sides of our little planet?
