Well, all things are possible, but somebody has to dream it up first!! :)) Key words in this report are "may have", or "might".................."have tested a form of space flight that could eventually let us fly at speeds approaching that of light" - - - Electromagnetic (EM) drive. Time will surely give us proof!! :)

Nasa may have successfully tested a form of space flight that could carry people to the moon in a few short hours — and eventually let us fly at speeds approaching that of light.
The agency has built an electromagnetic (EM) drive, using technology that shouldn't be possible in current understanding of physics, according to users on forum NASASpaceFlight.com. Some of those discussing the plan claim to be Nasa engineers that are currently working on the plan — and have been verified as such, according to Cnet.
While the technology behind EM drives has been demonstrated before, the results have been disputed by some who don't believe that it could work. But a controlled demonstration in conditions like those in space could be enough to begin the work to prove that the project could be used in practice.
Though the technology has been discussed in great length and detail on the forum and elsewhere, it is yet to undergo any peer review and the results of the recent Nasa experiments have not been released publicly.
The device works by propelling objects through space by using magnets to create microwaves, which are then sent through a device to create thrust. If it works, it could overcome the need to carry fuel for propulsion — a huge problem that limits the speed and distance that those journeying in space can travel.
To work, the spacecraft that carried it would need to carry a nuclear power plant to create the energy required to travel through space.

Notice the comment on the bottom of the pic - - I think that the below link may be the forum discussion he is referring to, Titled, NASASpaceFlight.com Forum » General Discussion » Advanced Concepts » EM Drive Developments - related to space flight applications - Thread 2
I haven't read the comments/replies on this forum link yet, but it is obvious that EM drives are the subject. Maybe some of you technical types can better understand the gross amount of technical comments that do permeate through these pages - 108 pages in this #2 thread thus far! :)
