	With all the advances in electric motors are electrical jet engines becoming better than toy standard; or would any project have to be home developed?

	What, is it just us SciFi geeks who believe in plasma engines? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Specific_Impulse_Magnetoplasma_Rocket There's the impulse engines for the first starship. Now we need the warp drive. Oh, wait- http://stardrive.org/ I guess they're working on that, too. It will scale up eventually. Compare the engine on the Wright Flyer with the engines on a B-29 bomber. That only took 40 years. Compare the jet engines on the Messerschmidt 262 with the engines on the SR-71- that only took 20 years. 60 years from Kitty Hawk to 1,900 knots at 85,000 feet. We can get to Proxima Centauri if we really put our minds to it. __________________ ASCII silly question, get a stupid ANSI.

	Sorry Mark my work never gets that exotic! I used to read books in high school and they had things like solar yachts which impressed me more than coming up with a warp drive that needs to be x times faster than light. I'm more of the one scary big step after the other big scary step type even though I like multi tasking, innovating and theory. But we definitely have space engines on the upcoming agenda!
