Propellantless Propulsion: The Direct Conversion of Electrical Energy into Physical Thrust

[pmbug]

I saw this and have skimmed it, but not investigated it yet:

Dr. Charles Buhler, a NASA engineer and the co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies, has revealed that his company’s propellantless propulsion drive, which appears to defy the known laws of physics, has produced enough thrust to counteract Earth’s gravity.

A veteran of such storied programs as NASA’s Space Shuttle, the International Space Station (ISS), The Hubble Telescope, and the current NASA Dust Program, Buhler and his colleagues believe their discovery of a fundamental new force represents a historic breakthrough that will impact space travel for the next millennium.

It's a great idea to use electric "propulsion" for space exploration. The problem is you can't get past the moon before the spacecraft needs a recharge which takes 3 days.

I wonder how many people on this earth will leave - flying off to the moon or wherever - when personalized space travel vehicles become reality (like the Jetsons cartoon).

I've already left.

If this is legit, it will be "acquired" by the MIC under the guise of national security.
