I watched the Video of the events surrounding the actions of John Chapman that awarded him the medal of honor.
I did not understand the purpose of the helicopter that was shot down at the end. Were they there to retrieve their fallen comrades?

Ah! Got it. Thank you for the reply!

Could you explain spacetime bubbles as a theoretical concept. As a layman trying to wrap my head around the Alcubierre drive the idea of a spacetime bubble seems impossible. Wouldn't completely severing yourself from the rest of the universe in a spacetime bubble effectively put you in a different universe. If the bubble is more like a bulge or region of space time, wouldn't it simple rebound to its original position with you still in it as soon as the drive is "turned off"? Stretching or compressing spacetime is hard for me to understand as well. Wouldn't distances be the same just... Compressed?

Thank you for your consideration.
