As a scientist, NASA has lost so much credibility under Obama I will check on their theories after he's left the Oval Office for good. Until then anything they say is put in the information folder with scepticism and not in the fact folder. NASA is ignored until further notice.
I suspect this will go disaterously wrong. America tries a slow, contolled landing of said asteroid, aliens burst out.. We're all fucked.

Protip -- the confined space defined by that adapter is full of oxidizer and fuel ejected by the rocket nozzle during separation. Prevented from expanding laterally, it burns for a short time. It is visible in space in a way normal flame is not as it picks up impurities from the adapter.

before anyone gets trolled by this please look at the sun
for further reading: Combustion requires an Oxidizer not necessarily oxygen
>>78189846
Because liquid oxygen is being used in the rocket.
>>78189496
Similar to how jet plane engines work you put oxygen in, fuels added, combustion occurs that spins a turbine and the Gas is forced out the rear through a tip creating propulsion.

Not sufficiently. The only experiment that will confirm anything is putting an EM drive in orbit and tasking it with changing its apoapsis by a significant margin.
Until then, Conservation of Momentum stands. The thing about the EM drive is that saying it works is tantamount to saying that science does not work. I guess that's why it bothers me so much that self-described "pro-science" people are supporting it.

I thought they found out that it works, and doesn't violate any laws because it actually emits particles, but the particles have some weird quantum null state so can't be detected or some shit. I forget, I don't care about the EM drive much. I'll care when I see it doing something useful.
