That was the first thing I thought as well. I wonder what kind of acceleration such an engine would be able to sustain, 0.5G? 1G? As you know 1G acceleration can get you from Earth to Mars in a matter of a few weeks. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Fiction has given us names for propulsion units like "Epstein Drives", "Warp Drives", "Ion Drives" and more. If Humanity's great interstellar engine winds up being called the PuFF Drive... Well somebody blow us up with a Death Star now and end our idiocy. |
