Impossible Spaceship Engine Actually Works, NASA Report Reveals
When a scientist announced last decade that he’d built a new form of spacecraft propulsion called the EmDrive that didn’t require conventional fuel, it sounded too good to be true. But the great thing about science is that you don’t have to take someone’s findings at their word; you can test it for yourself. NASA did just that—and while the space agency hasn’t officially released its findings yet, a leaked copy of NASA’s report reveals the EmDrive seems to work as advertised.

Okay, who’s so convinced this is true they want to bet their houses, cars and prized secret family recipes on it?
Ok so in this wager we put up our possessions, what do we get if we are right?
You won’t be needing those where you’ll be going, right? Settling off-world like thistle gone to seed and blowing in the stellar winds? Call my people and sign now.
I'm not qualified to be an astronaut, but I would jump at that opportunity. It would be the greatest adventure in the history of humanity.
C’mon! So what? Even if this engine’s measured thrust is far below the margin of error in those few slapdash experiments conducted so far, and even if there’s nothing new in this trumped up press release around iffy and stale information, and even if this too-good-to-be-true result based on such shaky evidence would require us to unlearn everything we think we know about the functioning of our universe, and even if the actual propulsive force we’re talking about is less than that of direct sunlight on a dark surface, you gotta take a chance if you’re gonna get lucky, right?
