“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of GOD to ever get them out to benefit humanity”
There is a video of him giving a speech where he says this as he is walking off the stage. I can no longer find that video.
I found a possible source for the quotes here https://www.wanderwoodsandwater.com/post/624700939769708544/ben-rich-yes-im-a-believer-in-both-categories Thank you for posting this. I have been studying how to build a better rocket for a few years and had a revelation. It was an idea that would be impossible according to the rocket equation but not according to Newton’s Laws of Motion from where they are derived. I tested and confirmed it in a simplistic experiment. I had visions of if the actual drive worked, it would be perfect for the Space Force, but then peepads stole the election and I have been trying to decide what would be the best plan. Well, I still have to prove it works, but this Ben Rich quote hit home. BTW, this does not involve unobtanium or Einstein type theories. It is actually stupid simple. Thank you again.
Interesting, I’ve often wondered whether they were doing the math incorrectly, ever since that college kid found out they had a time tested formula wrong forty over forty years. I want to say this kid discovered this over twenty years ago.
