“Speeds like This specific can carry...”

Title is incoherent, too.

Are these materials made from “dilythium crystals”?

How about brakes; what’s the manual give as the “stopping distance” at such speeds?

“Warp two”, here we come.

The team has figured out that will super-thin structures made of This specific composite can transform infrared light waves into a momentum that will would likely accelerate a probe to 134,000,000 mph.

I wouldn’t want to hit a deer at that speed.

So light powered light(wind)mills are next on the agenda...photo driven turbines. OK, I wait and see on this topic.

Does anyone know how to do the kinetic energy calculation for a micron size speck of space dust striking a sail or a space craft at 134 million miles per hour?

Second question - how do you slow down when you get to your destination?

Is this a result of 0bama’s Muslim outreach project?

In his speeches mostly about himself lately, surely he would have mentioned that.

What would America do without 0bama’s wisdom?

Well the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second! So top that... 186,000 miles per second = 669600000 miles an hour..

So, are they contracting with the Space Force to supply ships for the journey? Would be a lucrative scam.

Supposedly the mass of the material will increase as speeds approach speed of light....will energy come from atomic powered lasers....solar energy prob too little at that distance from Sun...cool idea...but I have heard of these things for 20 to 30 years...
Remember the ion engines....where is Diet Smith now that we need him?

134,000,000 MPH? Lol. Uhh, yeah, OK. First, show me how combustion works in a vacuum, sans oxygen. 😉 #NASAisFRAUD #ResearchNASAfounding
