aerospace / space science:

www.spaceprojects.com: a bilingual international directory of nearly everything space-related, including constructive reform proposals [by ex-NASA personnel] focused on making space access far more affordable. Also has as an extensive list of companies heavily involved in space.

FACE="Times New Roman,Times,Times NewRoman">www.nasawatch.info: a private watchdog agency dedicated to the critical assessment of NASA's bureaucracy from a taxpayer point of view, and to promoting a climate of healthy competition with NASA in the aerospace industry. Also provides links to every space-related news website known, to promote public awareness of important political and financial issues involved in making space truly accessible.

Space Propulsion Guide: an excellent and comprehensive website which features numerous links to pages about all forms of aerospace propulsion, including ion drives, laser and nuclear propulsion systems, and more. A regular e-mailed AeroSpaceGuide Newsletter is also available, as are links from the aerospaceguide.net homepage to virtually everything space-related.

www.solstation.com : provides detailed information and imaging software for those seriously interested in astronomy and its potential media applications. Has amazing interactive rotatable 3D view of local stars, orbit animations of multiple stellar and planetary satellite systems, nearby and bright star maps, and Hipparcos-updated data files for nearly 8,500 stars and other celestial objects within 150 light-years of Earth.

www.stellar-database.com: provides as much detailed searchable information about individual stars within 75 light-years as is generally available anywhere on the Internet! Includes excellent introductory material on stellar astronomy, as well as numerous links to related sites, and generated the starmap data on pg. 309 of StarDrive Engineering.

electrodynamic propulsion:

JLN Labs' Advanced Propulsion Research: provides extensive coverage of the simple all-electric "Lifter" technology using T. T. Brown's asymmetrical capacitor concept, as well as documentation of field effect, electrohydrodynamic, and electrogravitic experimental propulsion designs. Includes photographs of many different successful prototype tests.

www.electricspacecraft.com: a network of interactive research seeking electrodynamic field propulsion techniques for space travel by investigating electrostatics, electromagnetism, atomic physics, gravity, inertia, and aether concepts. Also publishes a quarterly Journal of research articles.

FTL (warp) theory:

Faster-Than-Light Physics: provides an excellent online presentation of the foundations of warp theory in modern general relativity, an extensive list of links to faster-than-light astronomical observation reports, and documentation of the experimental verification of FTL propagation of EM and gm fields (by Wm J. Walker, Los Alamos National Lab.).

Warp Drive Theory: provides a link to Miguel Alcubierre's original groundbreaking treatise (in pdf) proposing a viable global warp drive consistent with general relativity, and many links to academic follow-up papers. Also has links to NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Program website and the British Interplanetary Society's site.

gravity and cosmology:

Loop Quantum Gravity: an excellent paper by Carlo Rovelli, who participated in the formulation of the celebrated Ashtekar theory of gravitation discussed in StarDrive Engineering. Loop quantum gravity is perhaps the strongest competitor of string theory in presenting an acceptable picture of an aether-like discrete quantum microstructure of space-time that is consistent with general relativity.

www.metaresearch.org: a very professional astronomy-based website which offers excellent and thought-provoking online articles on gravity and cosmology, investigating views that are not always popular with the mainstream astrophysics community. Also offers a variety of books and publications on related topics. [It should be noted that lead astronomer Tom Van Flandern develops proof that gravity propagates at least 20 billion times faster than light. While some theorists have suggested that gravity propagates at or near infinite velocity, and many purists insist the value must be limited to light speed (c), StarDrive Engineering takes the somewhat intuitive and alternate intermediary position that gravity's speed of propagation is the square of the numeric value of 'c', for reasons based mainly on the mathematical elegance entailed. The issue remains without a definitive resolution, however, and makes for fascinating research.]

FACE="Times New Roman,Times,Times NewRoman">www.rostra.dk/louis: an awesome treatise on Holistic Quantum Cosmology with Decreasing Gravity which reveals a new and unique theory of the universe, by Louis Nielsen, M.Sc. (senior physics master at Herlufsholm, Denmark). This unparalleled and multifaceted work may provide fundamental answers to many unsolved mysteries in astrophysics and to the unification of physics on the smallest and largest scales.
