The idea is the same as it was when Stardrive first appeared on the web back in 1995: create a website devoted to exploring, discussing, and if possible, fostering the theory and technology necessary for successful human interstellar expansion. It's important to remember that Stardrive is essentially an online experiment in constructive focusing and amplification of group consciousness and intelligence. The greatest problem is information overload - filtering important ideas from the noise. Science News and Weird Desk above is our imperfect attempt at doing so. We're going to be winging a lot of this, so strap in and enjoy the ride.

We will be posting controversial fringe articles and forum comments making extraordinary claims from time to time from our readers. Reader beware. Our posting of this fringe content should not be construed as our endorsement of the material. We shall sometimes give our opinions of the credibility and reliability of the information if and when we have time to read it. The reader needs to form his or her own opinion and of course feel free to give their opinions in a restrained polite dignified manner. Our goal is not group think agreement, but intelligent disagreement on controversial important ideas. In science it is not enough to stumble on the right answer to an important question, but to be right for the right reasons. Theories must be falsifiable in the sense of Karl Popper.
