Space travel

Yoohoo! Hey out there in virtual land! It's your electronic writer.
I changed the look of my blog the other day and I'm quite proud of the design. You ought to check it out...
In other news...
Have you ever thought about journeying to the stars and beyond? While there are many thoughts on how to get to the ISS space station (including an immense elevator LOL), there are few innovations being dreamed up for actual space exploration. There are two noteworthy ideas:
1) a solar sail
2) warp drive
In fact there are multiple warp drive models in the making: one by NASA themselves. This innovation could get us from the Earth to Mars in a couple of weeks instead of eight months at a fraction of the cost. The other prominent model would require very little energy for the propulsion. It works by manipulating electromagnetic waves.
Neato!
