More PR to get more funding , IMO.
Not Sure, But... FTL!!

This is the ultimate powerpoint space program.
I don't understand this kind of pessimism. It's probably not much more difficult than building a couple of Dyson spheres. Around the Milky Way and Andromeda.
Is it just me or doesn't that one really look like a Clone Warrior version of the Enterprise?
All that matters is that it "look right." Then it should work—just as any saucer-ish aircraft must be using reverse engineered technology from UFOs.
Feh. I'm not seeing a problem here. I mean, we'll have to get it really efficient so it'll go on the mass of Jupiter, and we'll only be able to make the one trip, but it isn't as though we're really using Jupiter for anything anyway, is it?
The best way that I see FTL being possible is to first create an area in space around the ship that is completely devoid of an matter including gravity.
Creating this dead space would be similar to how the Universe was prior to the Big Bang that created Suns and Blackholes that are the largest source of gravity.
Once the dead space has been created the field would move along with the ship so that the actual pressure of the gravitational forces on the field would squeeze on the field much the same way that you squeeze on a balloon until it is propelled out of your hand.
I think using a reverse process of the Higgs-Boson to remove the particles that create the atomic mass of a particle around a ship would allow for the increased mass encountered by the ship to be lessened that would then allow the ship to travel faster than the speed of light.

Speak for yourself. i am very, very fond of my meteor/comet shield catching all those rocks from the outer solar system that might hit us if not for it's gravitational influence.
This method has been tried and abandoned because all it produced was an evil twin of Spock. Without the beard. And an evil twin of Uhura, with a beard.
