British press coverage of Professor Shane Ross' remarks at the British Science Festival

Professor Shane Ross spoke at the British Science Festival in Guildford, UK, on September 10, 2009. His remarks were covered in the next day's editions in the British press, such as in the Times of London and the Telegraph.

Dr. Ross spoke of how spacecraft can surf the celestial space in our galaxy by traveling in gravitational tubes in which they would expend very little fuel. While the existence of these tubes has been known since the times of Isaac Newton, it is only recent advances in computational resources that have made it possible to map them more completely.

Thanks to Dr. Ross' outreach, now even the layperson in Britain can understand "gravitational surfing."
