    It's always so fascinating to see how people tackle the high-speed travel of space, and this is a particularly cool idea :D I love this!

    Thank you! I didn't want to just use the standard FTL drive or whatever, fun challenge to come up with something new!

    I really like the idea of being able to frictionlessly move between atoms. Such a cool image (or, you know, not image, because that's too small to see). :D

    Love the Coil Drive, it brings me back to one of my favorite authors, Frank Herbert, Dune, the Guild, and Space Folding tech. I very much enjoyed reading this article.

    Thank you! I've yet to look at Dune beyond occasional fan art that's come my way-- but I've had it recommended several times. Maybe I gotta get to it soon...
