Imagine you walk out to your driveway (or parking lot ...) one evening, get into your car--

And lift off ... for a dinner on the Moon!

Impossible, you say?

NOT if your "car" is actually a space vehicle/aircraft as well ... capable of being sealed (like any private jet) with its own internal atmosphere, and DOESN'T depend on rockets (or vast amounts of rocket fuel!) to leave the Earth ... and return ....

THAT'S our show tonight.

A remarkable exploration of the Boeing Company's (yes, the folks who make BIG airplanes for a living ...) years-long secret Project ... to develop a working alternative to "rockets"

A genuine "inertial space drive."

Which -- without rockets (and their greedy gzzling of thousands of tons of fuel per launch) -- could one day (and, in the not-too-distant-future!)--

Take ANYONE who wants to "have dinner under Earthrise"-- 

To the Moon!

My guest tonight, Mike Gamble, is the former head of Boeing's exotic "Research and Development Laboratory."  While there, he actually directed a team of Boeing engineers to put together a rocketless "space drive" for the Boeing Company ... which ultimately WORKED!

And ... he's going to describe tonight how YOU can too!
