📆 Nov 17, 2023 After decades of arguments, experiments, claims and counter-claims, a #satellite 🛰️ smaller than a shoebox is preparing to activate a #propellentless drive in #space for the first time.
#Satellites typically have #electric drives which propel tiny quantities of ionized gas at extreme speeds to give little pulses of thrust.
Developers claim the #QuantumDrive goes beyond Newton using non-Newtonian relativity and #QuantumPhysics.
