So. If the thrust generated by these electrostatic ”propulsion” systems is real, what does it push against?

Earth’s magnetic field comes to mind. Surely electric fields won’t push against some kind of structure of space?

I guess we don’t actually know, which is super interesting.

It’s probably going to not give interstellar propulsion, but new #physics is always exciting!
