Space Travel-Engine System

[centaurwind]

Can anyone suggest any easier, more simple ways compare to chemical rocket to use in space travel? I mean something like the hyper drive in most of the science fiction novel but more pratical and can be done.

When we perfect fusion,then we will have fusion drive,and this will open up the solar system and the stars for future exploration.


kind regards michael.

...less violent, fleeting means of propulsion are already in play at NASA for future missions. Ones that provide propulsion for 10 years and counting using gentle ionic means...I wish I had a link for you, but I suggest watching the NASA channel which is where I saw the story...

I don't have the NASA channel. I don't even have cable, even though where I live is the first city in the world to ever have cable television. I just have my mind wherewith to play, and a cleverly rigged indoor antenna system that gets me up to ten channels on my Sony KV2063R, on a good day. I'm glad NASA is developing better ways to get around. I should need someone like you to tell me what's on, Michelle, only tv doesn't do it for me anymore. I need stimulation.

I could probably invent a better way to get around in outer space, but it's pretty desolate out there. Not a whole lotta life within shouting distance. I'd rather go to Fiji, or Tahiti. Or New Orleans, when it gets itself fully back in shape. I was thinking of getting a motor home and just travelling around the southwest, maybe stopping by Vegas and shooting some craps. I liked Las Vegas Vacation with Chevy Chase, come to think of it. It was that blue $28 safari suit that Randy Quaid wore in the film that really sent me. I laugh to myself everytime I think of him piling schlopp at that buffet counter in that pathetic outfit. I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those, but I imagine he probably had a pretty good allowance at the time, plus all the food he could eat.

Coincidental Juxtapositioning of Spatial Coordinates. That's the way to go. CJSC. Pulsing ahead one little step at a time and ending up light years farther away in just a few minutes. Beats having to blow up a sun and destroying a world in the process just to surf to the next inhabited world. I tell you, the fallen angels have had their day, they should just bow out gracefully like the lemings they are. This is the place. Might have to wait a few hundred years the way things are going, and it might be too late at that. Ah, c'est la vie. I hope this world gets saved by a white knight or that they change their minds. Pretty unlikely, demons that they are. We are doomed, Michelle.

I forget how many toys I have sometimes Baudrunner. The things we have just because there is a child in the house. Satellite TV for 24/7 cartoons, laptop, motorcycle, hot tub, and cell phone service. When I was a kid, we barely had anything that was battery operated, and were frequently locked out of the house by Mom and Dad. Learned to pea outside the hard way...Things have changed haven't they...
