That guy must feel like the Wright brothers right now. "Your air vehicle thingy can't work!!!" "It can work and it will work, we'll show you!"

It's funny how there are some scientists out there that are still calling it impossible even though the papers recently debunked their claims.

Pretty much like how people still believed in a flat earth even after they were proven wrong back then.

I can't wait for it to be tested in space! That being said, the thrust power, while being orders of magnitude higher than that of a regular photon drive, might still make it less efficient than an externally powered Fusion drive.

So how does this thing NOT violate newton's laws of motion?

Or any other physical law of any sort

Doesn't work very well with unintended doubleposts.

Please edit double-posts as "Delete please." or something like that so we know.

I don't see how people are so exited for this thing. It seems like it is not going to work as promised.
