RE: Our Supersonic Flight to Boston
Now that is a trip! Traveling faster than the speed of sound is amazing to think about - still wrapping my head around that.

Ah, it is/was pretty cool...
But I hope you noticed all my caveats...
Our ground speed was notably faster than the speed of sound would have been at that altitude, had we been in still air.
What I'm really looking forward to is semi-ballistic trajectories driven by field-control drives capable of constant acceleration based on energy input without Newtonian-style mass-ejection expedients... :D
Something I've been dreaming about since my youth.
😄😇😄
Yes, I did catch those caveats.
What I am still working to catch is the full scope of what you have been dreaming about since your youth, lol. Would what you are describing happen to be similar to an Em Drive?
Wow, my friend, I see that you are somewhat knowledgable already in this field...
It all started with (well, there was probably some preamble...) my discovery of an article in an issue of Popular Mechanics. The cover illustration for the article showed a delivery van backed up to a fifth story window in a city high-rise.
The article described the "Dean Drive," a device whose inventor claimed would convert rotary motion into a unidirectional thrust without any reaction...
And yes, I have been beyond delighted to see the practical development of the EM drive, standing the notions of the stuffed-shirt theoretical physicists on their heads... :D
Exciting times! ;)
I love it when the Lord breaks the rules we create in the study of His universe. :)
