Welcome to Mars express: only a three hour trip

This sorta' makes me wish I was born 20-50 years from now, so this was more of a reality.

If you think about how far we've come in the 1900's.... then hopefully before the end of the 2000's we'd have this technology and it'd be mainstream.

AN EXTRAORDINARY "hyperspace" engine that could make interstellar space travel a reality by flying into other dimensions is being investigated by the United States government.

The hypothetical device, which has been outlined in principle but is based on a controversial theory about the fabric of the universe, could potentially allow a spacecraft to travel to Mars in three hours and journey to a star 11 light years away in just 80 days, according to a report in today's New Scientist magazine.
