NASA Trying To Build A Warp Drive?
 

Talking about a warp drive is fun and all but, when you don't even know how you would turn it off and on, you might still have a few kinks to work out. Dr. White believes that advances he and others have made render warp speed less implausible. Among other things, he has redesigned the theoretical warp-traveling spacecraft — and in particular a ring around it that is key to its propulsion system — in a way that he believes will greatly reduce the energy requirements.
