A once rejected drive can now revolutionize the entire outer space research, as NASA and several others confirmed this program actually works. The invention was previously rejected by scientists after it defied the physics concept of the conservation of momentum, however, it was tested to produce a thrust greater than what rockets can do today, e research.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - Developed almost 15 years ago, by Roger Shawyer, a British inventor, the EM Drive was not accepted in the scientific community because it contradicted with the law of the conservation of momentum.
The "scientifically impossible" drive produces a thrust with the use of solar energy, generating microwaves moving back and forth inside an enclosed chamber, according to the report by The Telegraph. Theoretically, the engine would be able to run for a long time - the research says forever - without using rocket fuel, but only up until something fails or wears down.
"Our test campaign cannot confirm or refute the claims of the EM Drive but intends to independently assess possible side-effects in the measurements methods used so far. Nevertheless, we do observe thrust close to the actual predictions after eliminating many possible error sources that should warrant further investigation into the phenomena," explained Prof. Martin Tajmar, currently the chairperson for Space Systems at Dresden University of Technology in Germany.
Their measurements, after more careful research on thermal and electromagnetic interferences, show that the thrusts were as expected and stated on previous claims, Tajmar continued to explain. EM Drive is found to have the capacity to produce a thrust greater by several thousand times than that of the standard photon rocket.
This could mean it would only need 18 months to reach Pluto and about 70 days to Mars. Space science will be further revolutionized; to reach Alpha Centauri will only take a hundred years instead of tens of thousands.
