I'm not impressed with the design, it's a knockoff from an older design that predates space travel. And it's clunky-looking with lots of crevices for space dust to accumulate. Craft needs to be cleaned you know.It's the Secret Seal of Solomon. A ritual magic sigil/design.
Seal of Solomon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Secret Seal of Solomon has a big circle around it, A pyramid-like design inside, with a bowl-shaped dish in it, and on the sides, asymmetrical, a symbol for Mars and the other side a symbol for Saturn.
Well look at the impeccable timing, Mars and Saturn in the sky now, together, and separate from the rest of the celestial spheres. So let me get this right, a designer got millions of dollars in design to make an art form that replicates a magical sigil to advertise to the world how NASA is so advanced. NASA is using ritual magic? Let me guess, a design this cruddy won't be in effect until the 2040s, when the point of rocket propulsion in the modern sense, jet fuel, has gone the wayside.
The science behind the external ring seems sound. Circular things go through space quite naturally, as most things in space are round. It's a toroidal field, so with that, it can go in a general direction. With some ZPE or scalar technology, it may go places.
