the EM drive is less efficient then those weird deuterium drives, which are already a functional, realistic possibility, if those are the times it can make.
plus they produce, at the moment, barely any thrust. where are those times coming from?

other article. theoretically anyway
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science ... hours.htmlthe fact it produces any thrust at all is encouraging, considering it was naysaid by naysayers that it was madness

it's an amazing breakthrough for physics but it's practicality for space exploration is for now, and likely our lifetime, negligible.
