Nasa's Jet Propulsion laboratory has just confirmed that interstellar space travel is possible and can be achieved in less than 1 human life time.

Aeronautics Engineer Michael Cross reported Sunday morning to "Florida Today." Stating "This is a astronomical step forward in space exploration, quite literally in fact!"

"Using data gathered from CERN's study of the superluminal particle called a 'neutrino", he continued, "and coupling that data with experiments on ion-propulsion, we have, in theory, created a means of Faster-Than-Light travel!"

On the other hand, what some NASA Physicists refer to as "apparent" or "effective" FTL travel depends on the hypothesis that unusually distorted regions of spacetime might permit matter to reach distant locations in less time than light could in normal or undistorted spacetime.

Since one might not travel faster than light, one might conclude that a human can never travel further from the earth than 40 light years if the traveler is active between the age of 20 and 60. A traveler would then never be able to reach more than the very few star systems which exist within the limit of 20-40 light years from the Earth. This is a mistaken conclusion; due to time dilation, the traveler can travel thousands of light years during their 40 active years.

Dr. Cross explained that his research team has even built one such engine that may be capable of FTL propulsion, but could not elaborate any further because he got into one little fight and his mom got scared and said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."

Dr. Cross further explained that it is only a minor set-back, but he refuses to view it as a hindrance to his team's work stating, "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."

You need links and sources to fake things of this magnitude.

Nice try tho 3/10

What was the point of this?

You wrote all that, for what? a mediocre star wars reference?

How bored are you?

He beamed the post here with an FTL rig and it got posted before that.

Lost it there.
