ESA reports tests on DS4G produced an ion exhaust plume that travelled at 210,000 metres per second. >>

If they can get an exhaust plume that travelled at 186,000 miles per second, THEN we'll be getting somewhere!

Unfortunately, that would require an infinite amount of energy. Give me a Heim drive instead!!

No problem. Where'd I put that flashlight?
