    Rumor in Silicon Valley -

    Inventor of 3D volume holographic optical storage

    He says he has researched all propulsion concepts at NASA, Lockheed,
    Europe, Asia, and Russian Space Agencies and
    knows their EARTH BASED WW II propellant mass and other
    propellantless technologies.

    He is working in top secret and he says no physicist or scientist
    he has ever studied or researched had this approach and knows his
    concept will work to give near light speed travel thru Galaxy with
    500K/Miles per Hour to start or 138 miles/sec. Nasa fastest time
    are 25,000 mile/hr or 3.9 miles/sec

    He says it is a mankind first concept !!
