Hyperdrive and Space Propulsion
Interested reader writes "MSNBC has an article covering the recent Space Technology and Applications Forum in New Mexico, which included a frontier physics session on hyperdrive, wormholes, and other blue sky ideas. The idea is a revival of NASA's long-dead (and heavily criticized) Advanced Propulsion Project."

The Bush administration has frittered away a $500 Billion USD surplus, along with
a healthy respect for (financially speaking) real scientific advances into a $3 Trillion
USD debt and "Intelligent Design". Basic science has been sacrificed on the alter of
high technology war-making. Their reliance upon Madison Avenue marketing and
Hollywood propaganda, image over substance and fiction over reality, covers every
aspect of their policies and agenda.
Small wonder, then, that fusion reactors, anti-gravity force fields, and warp drives
are a sizable portion of a Bush administration scientific conference. Fiction is so
much rewarding to their egos than the stark reality of slashing funding in basic
scientific research. Being governed by neocons [Neo-con(artists)] is a bit too
close to "Planet of The Apes" -- not unexpected for the mouth-breathing, knuckle-
dragging hairless apes currently in power.
