So Warp Drive (faster than light) space travel might actually be possible!




But first a few issues to iron out:

:laughing3:

We will also have true 3D diplays like in Avatar. This 3D laser projector projects images in thin air. It's blue but if they can combine red green and blue then colour 3D images can be projected in thin air.

Here is another example but it's a fake hologram that I think uses the pepper's ghost trick or similar so it needs a beam spliter surface for the image to be reflected/ projected on.

I think the ships are going to have an onboard brewery Mantis and you can either go first class or economy. Don't forget to bring your Go Pro camera with you :thumbright:
