I highly doubt this would ever work even if we had the energy to do it. And even if it did work, 10x c is not fast enough to do anything useful. It would basically allow us to travel to nearby stars. Anything beyond that would take more than a human lifetime to reach. Our entire civilization could not even exist by the time one of these ships breached the outer galaxy, so there goes the idea of cryogenic sleep etc to allow for flights longer than a human lifespan. Not to mention how you could continue to supply the craft with energy etc. It ...depresses me deeply inside to know that star trek esque shit will never happen but alas that's probably reality.

Re: NASA reveals warp drive ship designs
That's probably the best shot we have if we plan to sustain ourselves as a species.
My guess would be that we would still have to make stops on various planets to replenish resources though. I have a feeling these stops won't be nearly as interesting as their star trek counterparts XD
