Regarding NASA and research suppression, I have an extremely difficult time understanding what could draw you to that conclusion.
Don’t misrepresent what I said. I did not state I had made a “conclusion.” My reason for wondering about it is that NASA has devoted surprisingly few resources to advanced propulsion research. Something people have been complaining about for years. I think bureaucratic inertia and congressional meddling are more likely explanations, but there is no reason it has to be an either/or.
Apologies for wording. Agreement on there being annoying issues that are cause for thought. On top of that I think it’s clear they could even be doing more with the technologies they currently have.

Another explanation would be that they consider advanced propulsion research military and therefore classified the research they do.
