As you're aware of, there are methods we do know of which don't violate SR which will allow us to travel faster, however there are objections to those methods which are based on conjecture which they haven't tested yet.
All I'm saying is that they should test these things via experimentation before dismissing the proposals out of hand. They may not be testable now, but at some time in the future we may have the technology and energy generating requirements to test them. So instead of saying it's impossible, it would be better to withhold judgment until we're able to make a fully informed opinion.

Carl,
Couldnt agree with you more. To say, based on our current state of knowledge that its impossible is frankly just absurdly foolish and unscientific.
