The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base carrying the SAOCOM 1A and ITASAT 1 satellites, as seen on October 7, 2018 near Santa Barbara, California. After launching the satellites, the Falcon 9 rocket successfully returned to land on solid ground near the launch site rather than at sea. The satellites will become part of a six-satellite constellation that will work in tandem with an Italian constellation known as COSMO-SkyMed.
According to Interesting Engineering s latest report, scientists and researchers are studying superluminal travel, which could lead to faster-than-light propulsion. This technology could allow humans to travel distant stars in a single lifetime.
Previous warp drive designs relied on a source of exotic matter unknown to physics.
The new design reimagines the shape of warped spacetime to allow for normal matter and energy to be used instead.
Warp drive is having a moment. Just last week, scientists dropped a bombshell when they unveiled the first physical model for a warp drive, the holy grail of space travel that would allow us to bend the fabric of space and time to their will and overcome the vast distances separating humans from the stars. Now, another astrophysicist has delivered an equally exciting warp drive breakthrough.

For decades, we ve dreamed of visiting other star systems. There s just one problem – they re so far away, with conventional spaceflight it would take tens of thousands of years to reach even the closest one.
Physicists are not the kind of people who give up easily, though. Give them an impossible dream, and they ll give you an incredible, hypothetical way of making it a reality. Maybe.
In a new study by physicist Erik Lentz from Göttingen University in Germany, we may have a viable solution to the dilemma, and it s one that could turn out to be more feasible than other would-be warp drives.
