    Propulsion seems to have advanced.  You have ships accelerating and 
moving tens of light seconds in a matter of hours while people sip tea on 
board in normal seats perpendicular to the direction of thrust instead of 
being smeared against walls from the acceleration.  So the 
pseudo-scientific BS field of gravity manipulation seems to be alive and 
well also.
