Warp Drive When? is the catchy title of a Web site that
explains NASA’s Breakthrough Propulsion Physics program to the
general public. Managed by Marc Millis of NASA’s Glenn Research
Center (who also created the Web site), the program seeks the
ultimate breakthroughs in space transportation. The use of “ultimate”
reflects the fact that, according to Millis, convenient interstellar
travel will require such feats as achieving superluminal velocities
and controlling gravity.
