That is some damn good reading. I've already forwarded the article to a few friends.

I wonder, when they say five years until we have a prototype, does that mean something that will cause a penny to float, or if we're talking about an actual contra-grav vehicle or launching something into/through hyperspace?

Hmmm... we may actually have interplanetary/interstellar travel in my lifetime. That is, indeed, a significant "Wow!"

Looking forward to it,
