Marc Millis – Pondering Spacecraft Fiction and Loose Ends
https://www.americanantigravity.com – In this segment, former NASA BPP head Marc Millis discusses spacecraft fiction and other concepts.
Millis has written “The implications of a genuine new propulsion method, plus the independent replications, are driving the perseverance to wade through these complications. If it turns out that a new propulsion method is discovered, then not only will we have a more effective way to propel spacecraft, but also a new window into the lingering mysteries of physics. The less obvious value is if it turns out to be a false positive. In that case the years-long ambiguity will be resolved, and the lessons learned will make it easier to assess future claims of new thrusters.”
