BREAKING!!! China claims orbital test of EM drive! | |

(OP) User ID: 73364895  United States12/26/2016 04:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi, Marax :) Quoting: Éireann Just curious if you might know the answer to this question, but how does the EmDrive produce new microwaves once they have been expelled from the drive to create thrust? Please feel free to dumb it down as I'm a Linguist and not an Astrophysicist. My understanding of it, is it uses electricity to make microwaves. It basically works like a microwave oven. The magnetron produces microwave photons that are bounced off the opposite side of a metal cone and this produces thrust. Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars. I'd like to go quietly in my sleep, like grandpa did. Not screaming in terror like the people in the back seat of the car he was driving. |

Does he want to be a president who the population loves or hates, does he even care? If he wants to use history as a guide why not select some of our more humane aspects for instance. Trump can surprise us all and include a mandate to reach for the stars, send a human expedition to mars and safety back and in the process establish technology transfers which spinoff new sustainable technologies which lower total carbon emissions below 400ppm Look at whats happening Wikipedia entry: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

Quoting: The Deplorable Joe Camel Meaning that it cannot reach escape velocity on its own; it must be lifted out to space using conventional rockets. Also, meaning it would probably take weeks or longer to get to maximum velocity. Slowing down would take just about as long, since the weight will decrease only slightly. Ten weeks to Mars my ass! . Theoretically it could reach close to the speed of light. You could use gravity from the planets to speed it up and slow it down as well.
