Think about that. Figure out at the maximum g load a human can sustain and figure up what amount of time it would take to accelerate to the speed of light, it's actually funny. And then when you get there being unable to breath or eat because you were under such a g load it will take you 40 years to get there. regardless I smell with Hooknosed clown on this I say take 80% or the military budget and give it to NASA should have been to Mars 30 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momorider Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The Mars mission already being planned is launching from space so the speed is going to be a fuck of a lot faster than anything that has ever been launched from earth that's a certain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted February 23, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 23, 2017 The plan has been to head to Mars since the Bush era, slightly pushed back timeline during the Obama admin but hopefully we are still headed in that direction under Trump. It's a great start to seeing what's out there IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you are calling a "warp drive." One can show that to create a wormhole, one needs to warp space-time in the opposite way, to that in which normal matter warps it. Ordinary matter curves space-time back on itself, like the surface of the Earth. http://www.hawking.org.uk/space-and-time-warps.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
