CLE100 -- Cosmic Life Exposé™
CSI's debut program is the Cosmic Life Exposé™ (CLE). The global initiative seeks to educate and build awareness along the spectrum of the CSI Mission. CSI sponsors the CLE project to promote sound science and technology research and space exploration.
The CLE will answer the 3-primary questions:
1) Does BASIC cosmic life exist?
2) Does INTELLIGENT cosmic life exist?
3) Has Intelligent cosmic life VISITED EARTH?
CLE will conduct a planetary-wide audit of key facts, evidence, witnesses, research, studies, data, and more to scientifically, technologically, and per federal law standards, answer the 3-primary questions and disseminate the findings to the global public.

IER200 -- Impulse Engine Research
CSI seeks to help fund research and realization of the revolutionary impulse engine.
Impulse Engine
Presented at the NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Workshop, Cleveland, Ohio, August 12-14, 1997 At: https://physics.fullerton.edu/~jimw/nasa-pap/
Aerospace propulsion technology to date has rested firmly on simple applications of the reaction principle: creating motion by expelling propellant mass from a vehicle. We can do better. A peculiar, overlooked relativistic effect makes it possible to induce large, transient rest mass fluctuations in electrical circuit components [Woodward, 1990; 1992]. Such fluctuations may be combined with a synchronized, pulsed thrust to greatly increase the acceleration attainable from a given amount of ejected reaction mass. A yet more innovative implementation of the effect suggests it may be possible to make engines that accelerate without the expulsion of any material whatsoever. These "impulse engines" are achieved without any moving parts (in the conventional sense). The concepts involved are supported by experimental results already in hand. Moreover, due to the nonlinearity of the effect, Morris and Thorne's [1988] traversable wormholes and Alcubierre's [1994] "warp drive" may be attainable with known technology (while remaining fully in line with the established laws of physics, despite their "Star Trek" nature). Here, however, I deal only with impulse engines.
