This is kinda really cool.

EM drives could also be used on multi-generation spaceships for interstellar travel. A journey to Alpha Centauri, which is “just” 4.3 light-years away, suddenly wouldn’t be so daunting. An EM drive working under a constant one milli-g acceleration would propel a ship to about 9.4% the speed of light, resulting in a total travel time of 92 years. But that’s without the need for deceleration; should we wish to make a stop at Alpha Centauri, we’d have to add another 38 years to the trip. Not a big deal by any extent of the imagination.

You gotta wonder what lead the guy to come up with that.
Just because someone can call me Mom now doesn't mean I am gonna be Betty Freakin Cocker and bake any pies.

:roflmao: Best comment to the article:

I need to be clear: I would not merely lose my shit. It would be as if my shit had never existed. The very concept of shit would no longer be relevant in the current paradigm.

Haha
It's not our fault. If you girls weren't so persnickety.
You gotta hand it to that bird for figuring out that THAT is what it takes to get laid.
How many things did he have to try before he found out that's what he should be doing?

I would watch the Kentucky Derby if it were made of those puppies instead of horses with midgets on their backs.

I do feel shame for the female population for allowing that crap to work.

Puppies are cute. I just hate the puppy phase, same with kittens though.
