there have been stories about cold fusion ... entirely diffrent and far more powerful and pure energy less fat

Awesome!

How is he determining the speed from the weather radar data. You need 2 of 3 variables start time/end time, distance etc?

Imagine the g-forces going at that speed and accidently pulling up on the controls. Human body nor would the structure of the aircraft be able to with stand that with present day materials and tech. Gov't either has secret materials far more advanced than the public knows and where did it come from (back engineered from the rumoured Roswell and other downed UFO's)? Also, is it unmanned?

^^ these fuckers would have had to be followed around by a cleanup crew just in case it crashed... which would cause a lot of nuclear pollution.

i acually went to roswell to see the place.. what a crackerjack gimick of a place... first off.. ya its cool.. everything is aleins... from the lampposts to the bus signs... its there money maker... but. driving into the place is a trip.. nothing but pits in the ground exploded bombs used for practice by the military thats right next to the tiny lil city...

way too dangerous in case something goes wrong. theyre experimenting with other and possibly faster propulsion systems so i hope in 20 years earth to mars can be done in two weeks or shorter.

That's right. And the "UFO" crashed about 30 miles from the city.

Scientists will build a spaceship when they figure out how to harness the unfathomably high quantities of energy that is released when matter and anti-matter are unionized.

Scientists are weary because an anti-matter bomb would make a nuke look like a stick of dynamite.

one gram of antimatter annihilating with one gram of matter produces 180 terajoules, the equivalent of 42.96 kilotons of TNT (approximately 3 times the bomb dropped on Hiroshima - and as such enough to power an average city for an extensive amount of time).

And when they figure all that ant-matter stuff out, the complex challenge of interstellar travel without hitting anything surfaces.

They say traveling near the speed of light through space would be like traveling 300 mph on a motorcycle through a rain forest.

New and Improved Antimatter Spaceship for Mars Missions

The NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) is funding a team of researchers working on a new design for an antimatter-powered spaceship that avoids this nasty side effect by producing gamma rays with much lower energy.

Most self-respecting starships in science fiction stories use antimatter as fuel for a good reason – it’s the most potent fuel known. While tons of chemical fuel are needed to propel a human mission to Mars, just tens of milligrams of antimatter will do (a milligram is about one-thousandth the weight of a piece of the original M&M candy)

Does anyone have the sneaking suspicion that the "G" definitely is light years, pardon the pun, ahead of what they are admitting publicly. NASA going under is just a ruse? Laughing as China plans to waste TRILLIONS$ on funding conventional methods of space exploration, Moon bases, Mars missions, while the technology exists to do just that TODAY? Not even conspiratorial really, just amazed to see LEAPS in technology in this field from 1930s-1950s, and then practically nothing noteworthy from the 60s until today? Relying on Elon Musk and 'private space' to get the USA into space again? Paying the Russians to piggy back rides to the ISS? Risking the lives (and losing the lives) of almost two dozen astronauts (5% of those that suit up for these 'public' missions) flying around the SS-Clunkers? Something's amiss.
