Even if it works the best it can do is Medium to High Earth orbit stationkeeping and would only be able to accelerate a craft slightly faster than normal on missions spanning over a decade.

"Realistic" ships or pseudo-aerodynamic sleek cruisers, or bricks? Whcic one is best style?

>>50577113
pseudo-aerodynamic sleek cruisers, because they look cooler, and because they'd actually make some sense in terms of military design, i.e. low frontal profile and armour shaped to deflect light hits.

>>50569772
My theory is that it works by pushing off the Earth's magnetic field, making it useless for long-distance travel, because magnetic fields lose a lot of strength as you get further away from the source.

>>50577113

Realistic to all hell, though that may include a literal 'brick' design.

>>50572608
I want to run sci-fi cold war game now, anyone have more space commies?

>>50577166
The most probable explanation is that it produces thrust by interacting with the atmosphere. The "thrust" produced in hard vacuum had to be measured with a torsion scale, and is most probably the result of experimental error.

>>50577113
Yes.

>>50577113
Whichever aesthetic fits the particular themes of the work they appear in

IF it works, it will a ground breaking discovering and pretty much glitching the universe to work in our favor. IF it works that its. If not, well whatever we move on.
>>50577166
Umm No? The idea of this is Mircowaves bouncing around in the cone that transfers the small momentum energy to the craft, pushing it in the other direction. (That is a horrific glorified under explanation of what this engine is supposed to do but the concept is there.) Where did you get Earths Magnetic Field from? That's like saying your Microwave can only work on Earth too.

>>50569772
It's got some seriously amazing uses for unmanned probes if it works. If it works and the effects can scaled up, it might be a game changer. NASA is very cautiously optimistic, and I'm hoping it really works.

>>50569772
I'd LOVE if it worked. But I have to agree with Scott Manley here that it's not very likely.
