Interview of Charles Buhler by Tim Ventura:

Scourge of Ages:
I don't know anywhere near enough about physics to form an opinion on this, also I haven't watched any of those videos. If it turns out to be real and practical, it would be really cool.

But my gut says "that doesn't sound real".

The E:
We've been here before.

A drive that does not require reaction mass would indeed be a great invention. However, so far, we haven't found one that wasn't ultimately a measurement error.

jr2:
My gut is pressing X as well but I was kind of hoping with that pedigree there'd be at least a little observable evidence when this all gets examined.
