Default Emdrive might change the law of inertia (for the Earth too!)

Of course such a test is completely meaningless, but still...


I would admit the (small) possibility of using EmDrive for satellite
station keeping in orbits that are within the influence of a planet with
a significant (Geo/Jovi/etc)centric* magnetic field


There is no need to prove that an electric current can result in a
force when applied within a magnetic field. And when the EmDrive is
demonstrated within the magnetic field of the earth, it has to be proven
that it is not this effect.
