Not when you look at the people pushing it - mostly Libertarians that are no longer so naive as to be utter fools.

It's not an assumption, it's a hypothesis. If you mischaracterize it as an assumption, then you just make smart stuff sound stupid.
That may be but the hypothesis is still founded on a pretty stupid assumption. Any hypothesis that presumes to know all of physics and all possible technologies derived from physics either directly or indirectly is safe to throw away and decry as "stupid."
Until society falls and the people who form the next society think we used to drill out people's chests by hand and hack at them with chisels to install crudely crafted titanium plates.
The better question: where the fuck does the bandwidth come from? There simply isn't that much available and the last time some idiots tried to pass the regulations to allow something like this it literally almost brought down GPS and in turn the whole fucking military.
I always find it striking that in every damn SciFi universe, humans somehow always stay superrelevant. Not only does our little species still exist in a highly recognizable form, it even usually plays some central role in that universe (generally filled with other highly anthropomorphic entities with strikingly similar cultures).
It is a ridiculous unfounded extrapolation of our time. Predicting human(like entitie)s in the far future is like predicting flying horse carriages.
No, individualism will become obsolete. Humans will be obsolete and 'emotion' and 'wonder' will be supplanted by pure rationalism executed by a non-organic singular or hive entity.
(also, don't get me started on a 'cosmic AC' in a heat dead universe)
A) It is so incredibly unlikely that out of the millions of sperm from your father you would be selected - along with him and your mother and going on back to the point where it was incredibly unlikely that the first sentient life would arise, continuing on to the point the first multicellular life would arise and on more to the point the first life would come to exist that you nor any other person has the right to call anything "unlikely."
B) The story actually specifically includes individualism giving way to a hive mind.
C) Entropy can and will be reversed when the matter in the universe collapses into a black hole and a new zero point energy is established - effectively creating a new "big bang" in a smaller space than we could call it today but in a space comprised of all matter in the universe all the same over a time literally longer than can be defined because relativistic effects would make it infinite from our perspective (yet it will still happen.) We're effectively falling into a bottomless pit with every moment and our existence as a whole is just a ripple from the initial push into that pit. Enjoy your life, it will happen again.
There are over 7 billion people on the planet and growing - each of whom will die and will likely not have a pleasant death.
A black hole would be a pretty clean way to go.
And extreme criticism requires equally extreme credentials. The vast majority of people knocking the EMDrive and other fringe physics experiments don't even know the theories behind them, let alone have any experience testing them themselves. The peanut gallery just needs to shut the Hell up, about everything.
It was created by an independent inventor in the UK. It is insulting to all of science to act as though a large organization like NASA is capable of breakthrough physics when literally all breakthrough physics has come from individuals.

NASA releases one picture a day. Either the hard is too old or the soft is too slow (or the staff is incompetent). Please upgrade something!
Except that also means other insects we like a lot less are also likely evolving resistance, which means we'll produce even nastier toxins and start wiping out bee populations again.
Anyone with half a brain cell or better is capable of judging the NYT's content. You can dress the description of shit up in with fancy words and grammar all you want, you'd still be portraying shit.
These people are smart, they know which drugs are going to fuck up their lives and which drugs make life beautiful. People with pharmaceutical and medical training tend to avoid opiates, because they see the results of addiction in their patients.
That's really not it at all. Different people use different types of drugs for different reasons. People that seek to escape from life choose things like morphine, people that want to relax after work tend to choose things like marijuana, people that want to experience new things seek out psychedelics, etc. Smart people tend to be driven to discover new things, which is why they tend toward psychedelics - things like morphine are just the exact opposite of the effect they desire, the effects of anything are capable of fucking up a person's life if they use it poorly.

Mars Mania is just rather strange.

Your alien overlords keep you just as in the dark as you keep the general population.
I'm not an expert when it comes to whales, but I think they only have "hair" (as opposed to fur) on their buttholes.
Maybe they have finally completed mapping every inch of the sea floor, and they want others to stop.
It's clearly an effort to conceal an underwater base created by the aliens running the Illuminati.

There are still particles known to exist with no supporting theory for why they exist.
Still possible that farmers with asthma just don't hold up to reproduce as often - that selection would probably take less than a few hundred years.
Not to say "script kiddie" is a high ranking - but CSS and HTML don't even qualify for it.
Still blaming Bush when we have Obama.
Maximum sea level rise for all ice and precipitation on earth being in liquid form on the ground at once is about 70m.
Wow..That wasn't even clever.
Hey, look, somebody shows my reasoning to be shit. Let me pretend he's a troll so I don't have to face reality.
Just accept it. You're a mediocre shortsighted antianthropocentrically (amusingly, "anthropocentric" has no antonyms) crappy little troll.
The better question: where the fuck does the bandwidth come from? There simply isn't that much available and the last time some idiots tried to pass the regulations to allow something like this it literally almost brought down GPS and in turn the whole fucking military.

From the sound of it they're trying to make a system versatile enough to work on asteroids not just Mars.
"Enterprise" is a long-standing name for naval ships that goes back well before sci-fi as genre even existed.
