"The dream of defying gravity has a long and ignoble history. From Icarus on, the road is littered with failed attempts to unbind our feet from the shackles of nature's most seemingly inexorable force. But the team behind the NASA project say they are basing their efforts on real science, and NASA has paid almost $600,000 to have the machine custom-built by Ohio-based Superconductive Components, Inc. (SCI), a company that specializes in high-tech ceramics and superconducting materials."

What a crock.  "Oh, they failed to get the microcrystalline structure of the dilithium right.  They need to invest another $4,500,000,000 to try more configurations."

Probably my memory is poor but I seem to remember that we've achieved zero gravity within a strong (Very strong) magnetic field ?
