If you cannot see the video clip, go onto You Tube and type in, NASA Warp Drive Project Speeds That Could Take a Spacecraft To Alpha Centauri In Two Weeks..
I live in hope that such a thing can be accomplished, however it is still very much on the "drawing board" stage right now - lots of theory, but no actual, physical testing.
I'm wondering, though: If such a drive can be built, then wouldn't the passengers on a round trip to Proxima Centauri and back still take about eight years, our time, here on Earth - even though they would only experience a month or so on the trip? Or am I missing something?
