Consider the Elon Musk Mars Fantasy

So all this so-called “expansion of the universe” is just a space warp? And if space is expanding fast enough we can effectively exceed c, even though an object’s velocity never exceeds it. Ok, so now we do have an angle to work from for getting warp drive to work.

And we won’t have to worry about being turned to pink mist.
 
Elon and his team have already developed
much more advanced propulsion systems.

Not needing much help from Nasa.
So I'm sure they don't need help from internet experts.

Unless your absolutely sure you have something useful.
Suggest contacting him.
The current tech exceeds all pre existing tech.
So it better be good, dam good.

Funny the extremists media bashing propaganda, seems to have brain washed
most peoples opinions.
Just like many many large companies in the past.
The eventually change their stocks and remain non union.
So outside sources dont control them or steal their money more easily.
Wah Wah Wah im over it, and not a sucker for propaganda.

Somebody makes interesting stuff, then its interesting that simple.

1899 Charles Duell said close the patent office.
Everything has already been invented.
So good thing we ignored that nonsense.

Im sure his buddys at the time had a strong argument,
to just pocket the money. Instead of wasting precious
money they could keep for themselves for that silly little patent office.

The "Expansion of the Universe" is actually a current phase of our perceivable Universe motion that will eventually change
and then become rapid at the approach of the NEXT Big Bang. "The Only Constant is Change" > and nothing is truly linear.
 
My idea of warping spacetime in front
Gravitational effects of planets and sun?

Nuclear and some sort of reaction mass makes more sense. Particularly if your destination has something that'll mean you only need enough to get there with a reserve because you can tank up for the return...

If the reaction mass was water you could store it around the crew quarters to act as shielding....
 
What if we could navigate our way through space by surfing the magnetic fields that permeate the Universe?

Applying an external magnetic field to a diamagnetic material creates an induced magnetic field in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force.

Superconducting coils are strongly diamagnetic, so build them into the structure of a spacecraft and you have "diamagnetic propulsion"!
 
Laithwaite spoke of a "magnetic river" - a travelling magnetic field that levitates and drags a magnetic plate along.

My direct drive turntable has coils which create a rotating magnetic field that drags the magnets fixed in the platter around.
 
You guys remember a science fiction novel using expansion drive?
The space ship and everything in it would expand to very large size by increasing the space between atoms, until the ship includes the point where you want to go.
Once that was done, you reverse the expansion but now with the new point as center - and you're there!
Genius.
