   It *is* too good to be possible.  SpaceDaily should know better.  The   
   author doesn't even fully understand how ion propulsion works, never mind   
   what quantum entanglement and quantum teleportation are.   
      
   Quantum teleportation is poorly named, and can't do any of the things he's   
   proposing; it "teleports" information, not energy.
