Overview
Casimir's innovation began with a bold question: could the quantum vacuum, the seething foundation of reality first identified by Hendrick Casimir, be harnessed as a source of useful energy? That inquiry took shape over nearly two decades of Sonny's work at NASA, where his passion was always advanced power and propulsion, finding ways to move humans beyond Mars and, one day, to the stars.
