Disband NASA. Either give it something useful to do or shut it down. NASA has no reason to continue.

Anti-gravity!
Democrats have hats that do that.

It must be possible. How else do you explain the UFO's in my backyard at night?

I actually think this research is OK. I know, its sounds stupid, but what if... They should get the measuring device fixed and do a final run, if that shows nothing, then the project should be terminated.

The body of science supporting this derives from work done a century ago. Among other things that work involved the Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
The whole thing is in the math, and is well worth pursuing. In fact, the first nation to discover how to do it will dominate the Earth for a very, very long time. We have to get there first. One might imagine Osama Bin Laden having such a discovery at his disposal.

the only way to enable human spacecraft to blast off to other star systems.Human spacecraft. As opposed to the Vorlons, I suppose.

This has already been produced by Diet Smith Industries in the private sector.

junk science anti-gravity bump.

I think that you are being a little too hard on NASA, if this is possible, can you imagine the applications? The possible spacecraft that could be built.
No, I think it is worth pursuing, the possible knock-offs from the technolgy necessary to even experiment could have excellent commercial value.
And $600,000,000 is not much, when you consider the total budget...

I saw the premier show of the new Enterprise series. I'm sure there is some sort of antigravity thing working to support that new Vulcan chick.

Junk Science, right up there with N-Rays and Cold Fusion.

I'm not sure NASA is the right place for this study either. However, I believe it has merit. Has science advanced even to the point of understanding, to a fair degree, what causes gravity?

Anti-gravity must be acheived... ASAP...
The private sector will get us there much faster than NASA, however...

This antigravity stuff is all based on the original work of
T Townsend Brown in the 40's and 50's, it would seem.
Understand please, most "scientists" are anal-retentive
and trying to please daddy (e.g.- their thesis advisor
or their physics teacher or whatever) so the beginning
of progress is to go AGAINST the scientific establishment.
Hats off to NASA for trying to break out of the mold...
I just hope it works.
Don't get me wrong - the skepticism of the scientific
community is what prevents the really weird stuff -
HOWEVER - the eccentric Trofim Lysenko DID get the
Russians looking at things in a different way, which
yielded an number of interesting scientific advances...

VORLONS, Thats a mythical race,
Cremlock the Arnathian told me so last week on our trip to Renacia major.....
