I am going to be *extremely* pissed off if it turns out we could have had real starships before Star Trek made its first appearance on TV. In which case a lot of people will feel that such a monumental screwup by the science community would be the perfect finishing touch to the insanity and waste of the 20th century.

This is a far out theory so careful testing will be needed. However as Einstein showed far out can be true. Military applications are likely to be 30 to 40 years away. If we delay for 10 years then they will be 50 years away.
