A three hour tour, or Around the galaxy in 80 days
in the late afternoon on Thursday, the 5th of January 2006 by Capt Jake Fortune
AN EXTRAORDINARY “hyperspace” engine that could make interstellar space travel a reality by flying into other dimensions is being investigated by the United States government.The hypothetical device, which has been outlined in principle but is based on a controversial theory about the fabric of the universe, could potentially allow a spacecraft to travel to Mars in three hours and journey to a star 11 light years away in just 80 days, according to a report in today’s New Scientist magazine.
Of course, it coming from New Scientist, so it must be true! But we all know that our interstellar ships won’t be declassified for a few more years…
