Hi,
It appears NASA is seriously thinking about (and apparently throwing money at) building working warp drive. Again.
Yesterday, NewScientist website published an interview with NASA scientist, Harold "Sonny" White Ph. D, who is involved with this enterprise(despite a wink, no pun intended).
Here it is: Meet the NASA scientist devising a starship warp drive
WikiPedia page on Harold G. White's bio
Summary of warp drive mechanics (PDF):
Warp Field Mechanics 101 by Dr. Harold “Sonny” White (2011)
With math, physics, graphs and slides containing images of test lab equipment.
Enjoy
PS
If all founding for military projects and operations gone into civilian research, i bet this (and a lot more) could be achieved in less time than Manhattan Project's outcome (only 5 years, without present day supercomputers and tech)...




(despite a wink, no pun intended).
