A bubble of plasma could shield astronauts from radiation during long journeys through space, researchers are suggesting. If the idea proves viable, it means heavy metal protective panels could be replaced by a plasma shield of just a few grams.

"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

Well...if such a thing could protect US going out there, why couldn't it protect others out there who are perhaps coming HERE?
That Condign report section regarding UFOs as possibly being a type of "not fully understood" plasma phenomena might not be so far-fetched after all.

Hmmmm, that makes me wonder: what would a ship with a plasma bubble shield look like to an outside observer? a glowing, slightly oblate disk, perhaps?
Chris,
But Seth Shotask assures us that interstellar travel is, at best, hugely impractical! ;-)
