Engineer Thinks We Could Build a Real Starship Enterprise in 20 Years
- lusr 14y agoNow this should be a Kickstarter project. With such detailed plans as "Research" for 9 years I'm not seeing any risks here. Jokes aside, I'm not really sure what the point would be. As much as I love the idea of spaceships and exploring space, the budget this would require vs. the payoff - at this point in time, given the other problems we have on Earth - do not seem worthwhile.
