Is EM Drive The Future Of Space Travel?

Over the past years the EM Drive has been subject for controversies and headlines in Science ground. With respect to the law of physics, the EM Drive "violates" the propulsion system and other physics principles that cause lots of arguments to be debated by the physicists and scientists.
However, the NASA team claims that it does work and is capable of producing extraordinary thrust in a vacuum, despite of some runs of error that have been accounted during the trial.
According to IB Times, the idea of EM Drive was first proposed by the British scientist and electrical engineer named Roger Shawyer in 1999. This is a new type of rocket engine that is capable of exploring the aerospace without the use of any sort of fuel to create a momentum and propel itself.
According to NASA, the EM Drive works even without the consumption of any fuel or propellants. NASA explains also that the mechanism of EM Drive is simply bouncing the microware photons back and forth inside of a cone-shaped closed metal cavity.
When photons fired into the cavity, it creates motion that causes the microwave photons to push against the large end of the cone resulting to the small end to accelerate in the opposite direction. However, this superb context of the EM Drive apparently violates the Law of Physics, specifically the Newton's third law, which states that for every action, there must be equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, for a system or rocket to produce propulsion, it has to be pushed by something out the other way.
Immortal News said, on the other hand, that the impossible project of Electromagnetic Drive has been officially reviewed and passed the peer review process this week.
This means that this kind of experiment seems possible after all and a new field of exploration in space will be taking place in the future like traveling to Mars in just 70 days compare to 300 days that it takes now, The Inquisitr noted. It also gives way a new look in field of aerospace and potentially resolve the energy crisis and climate change by means of launching a cheaper satellite and spacecraft into the orbit.
Today, we have reached a new milestone in the field of Space exploration and possible errors will be accounted into it in the near future and no lucid clues as to how the drive can be used for realistic purposes.
The EM Drive is a conundrum subject waiting to match all the pieces of evidence to decipher and solve the mysteries that lie behind it.
