NASA's scientist Harold White has spent a long time examining the possibility of a spaceship that can travel faster than light, and now he's taken his research to the next level. With the help of artist Mark Rademaker, White has made a design of what such a vessel would look like. The warp-dry vehicle is called the I-XS Enterprise, and does bear more than a casual resemblance to its Star Trek namesake. I work with the guys to update the artwork, Mike Acuda and Mark Rademaker, to a concept that properly reflects some of the math, and so you see here the rings are considerably more athletic in this concept. Of course, nobody is quite sure if making a warp bubble is actually possible, but NASA is investigating the matter via ongoing experiments. It has been determined that previous concerns about a warp drive, annihilating a star system, are unfounded. Researchers are still unclear about the consequences of faster-than-light ships coming into close contact with other vessels, however. Those matters aside, if warp speed travel ever does become more than the stuff of science fiction, it could put the entire solar system at the world's fingertips.
