Cool, I read all of the BPP pages a while back. I wonder what happened to them, they seem to have been down for a while.

I had always wondered about something there, though it isn't related to the EM Drive. The original pages posted a few numbers claiming that even with a Fusion rocket-based propulsion system, interstellar travel was still wildly impractical, like thousands of supertankers of propellant to send a Space Shuttle-sized capsule past the nearest star system in 900 years without stopping. Yet many Sci-Fi and semi-scientific sources make it seem as if nuclear rockets are a viable interstellar propulsion. I always wonder who's right, and if I can find some more detailed numbers to back it up either way. Thought about it enough that I might actually try and calculate it myself one of these days.
