Jon, don't tell me you are one of those who believes the moon landings took place in a Hollywood studio. grin I'm old enough to remember reading some not even half baked theories that traveling faster than the speed of sound would be fatal to human life, but I have traveled faster than sound and I am still here. I just wish I thought I would be around long enough to see NASA's FTL comer to fruition! Maybe my grandsons will see it. I hope so.

I already own some swamped land in Florida it is called Disney's Old Key West Resort at Walt Disney World and I go there at least twice every year. To quote Walt Disney, "If someone can imagine it, someone can build it" and he proved that over an over again. I can imagine FTL travel and NASA can imaging FTL travel, but they have a lot better chance at building it than I do.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
