I worry about the EM drive being used as a weapon rather than a space travel engine. That invisible photon mass beam projector would not be trackable back to its source, except by retracing the path of its damage, and it would surely have moved by then. But an assured destructive force out the front would also emit a somewhat lesser destructive force out the back, somewhat like an RPG but with a longer reverse path of destruction. More of a space weapon. And it can travel through metal shielding. Though can it damage DNA at high exposure?
And can we uncouple those photons to detect them? Can we beam them through planets? What mysteries can these coupled photons unveil for us, besides Mars in 70 days and Alpha Centauri in 90 years?
