Warp Drive Space Ship continues development

Some time ago we reported that NASA was working on a real live Warp Drive space ship, based on the principles of Alcubierre drive which is designed to bend the very fabric of space-time for propulsion. The project is being headed by NASA ace Dr Harold White.

Not content with just providing the theory, NASA continue to look at building a practical spaceship that could prove this theory. To help with this digital artist Mark Rademaker - who has worked with Star Trek projects - was asked to help Star Trek graphic designer Matt Jefferies and Dr White in designing a concept of the ship - IXS-100 Enterprise.

The result is nothing short of stunning.
