Woah there horsey, you're basically sticking anyone that thinks reactionless drive might be possible into the crazy conspiracy theory category, and there are plenty of people that are interested in honest reproducible research on the topic.

Just blanket suggesting that it is in no way possible without any evidence is no better than blanket suggesting it is possible without any evidence (well, it's a little better, since the laws of physics are on your side, but...)

Right. That's the spirit of my original comment. There are obviously people here with some serious investment in their own educations and egos that think this thing is impossible. Yet, here we are, peer-reviewed evidence[0] mounting.
