They are ahead of NASA then! 
NASA is doing some feasibility study on the warp drive right now!

I have a fear of carpooling.
I'm afraid that the car will get trapped in the tunnel and with all the people I won't be able to get out.
It's called Carpool Tunnel Syndrome.
I'll get my coat, I know the way out!

Sounds like an old sci fi short story,but I'll be darned if I can remember who wrote it (I already checked my library of Asimov short stories along with other authors). I also spent 15 minutes on-line googling anything I could remember with no hits that seemed to match.
If anyone remembers, give me a hint.
Dave.

I can understand it, you are not Silverster Stallone

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I keep clicking on the Down arrow, but nothing's happening, other than the pain in my wrist becoming more intense. 
Will Rogers never met me.

Try clicking on the up arrow may reverse effect?

Great if true.. Or just a means of getting research money. Would have thought Lockheed would have enough of their own money to gamble on this..

Perhaps - but allowing others to have a piece of the cake is often seen as a good business strategy ...

From reuters.com: It said future reactors could use a different fuel and eliminate radioactive waste completely.
Now that's cool.

It would still produce neutron radiation that would weaken all the components and make them radioactive.
|
|
|
|

But the thought of being able to make a small, self-contained, nuclear reactor that eliminates some waste is still cool. Just imagine what the future will be like in 100 years of this.

Maybe they mean "fusion" in the way restaurants use it -- i.e. they've finally figured out how to build a hybrid truck.
That sounds a lot more believable.
