Warp 6. Engage

Where's Zefram Cochran when you need him? Seriously, someday some far out theory like this will get us to the stars...I hope:

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.

Wouldn't that be cool beyond words? And oh how it would change everything down here on planet Earth.
