This NASA Scientist Is Developing a Spacecraft for Interstellar Travel. Is It the Warp Drive We’ve Been Waiting For?.

Harold White, known to his friends as Sonny, was only 11 years old when the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum was unveiled in his home city of Washington, D.C. in the summer of 1976. He and millions of other visitors explored the museum’s halls to marvel at decades-old airplanes and space modules that had only just returned Earth-side, including the Apollo 11’s command module, Columbia. It had remained in orbit as Neil Armstrong and “Buzz” Aldrin became the first human beings to set foot on the moon. For White, visiting the museum became a pivotal moment that would ripple through his life and career as both a NASA scientist and dogged investigator of one of science’s most challenging problems: how to reach the stars.
