It's 2016. The year of the 20th anniversary of Star Trek. So how close are we to a working warp drive? This film proves we're a lot closer than you think and from a source you may have never heard of and with a physics model you certainly didn't know existed. 

 

So how close? The first test in space is only a year and $1,000,000 away. While Harold White and others at NASA's Eagleworks fiddle about with an EM drive which is not the same as a warp one, and NASA has offcially declared that they are not developing a warp drive, Marshall Barnes and his team have published the first plans for how they will test STDTS™ outside the Earth. The plans were accepted for poster presentations at the International Astronautical Federation Congress. 

 

STDTS™: The World's First Warp Drive is the true story of how an alternative warp drive platform was discovered, tested, developed and is now the engine behind the plan for a space exploration program that will function outside of NASA, entirely in the private sector, beyond the red tape, bungling and security flaws of the government but securely under American control.
