A controversial new electric propulsion system that seems to defy Newton's laws launched into space aboard SpaceX's Transporter 9 mission on November 11, 2023. Developed by IVO Ltd, the Quantum Drive aims to be the first purely electric, zero-propellant spacecraft engine ever tested in orbit. Its su

    Thrust production process seemingly violates conservation of momentum

    Um, yeah, this would be big if true, but it smells strongly like bullsh*t.

      I am interested in the results of this experiment, but they’re not here yet. And if it does work then likely rockets like Falcon 9 and Starship will still be needed for the ground-to-orbit step.
