[SpaceProgram] Nasa & Icarus investigating Warp Drive

[Jerry Isdale]

Could warp drive be possible? Maybe. NASA is looking. Icarus is looking. I am interested in seeing it explored. There are major unknowns in our Physics these days. Currently I'm interested in exploring Maxwell's original formulation of his EM Theory using Quaternions.. Perhaps we miss something important when using vector approximations. 

This article in Gizmodo talks about some of NASA investigations...

it points to an article on the Icarus Interstellar site...

I would definitely include things like this (and quaternion based explorations/education) in SpaceGAMBIT fundable areas of interest
