Re: Peter Diamandis & Gravity Shielding

In the recent issue of Popular Science (the centennial of flight issue,) Peter Diamandis of X-Prize fame predicts that gravity shielding (think of Podkletnov's anti-gravity experiment) will enable routine space access and that future spacecraft will use means other than rockets for propulsion.

Am I the only one who thinks that Mr. Diamandis is a little "out there" on this prediction?  Dr. Podkletnov's work has yet to be duplicated by other scientists, so I still harbor some doubt (mixed with some healthy optimism) about the usefulness of his gravity-shielding experiments.


Who needs Michael Griffin when you can have Peter Griffin?  Catch "Family Guy" Sunday nights on FOX.
