Warp Drive in Star Trek. Largely because there is modern day physics that points to the possibility of it being an actual possibility.
From a story telling, fits into the narrative version, the FTL in the newer Battlestar Galactica series. Look no further than the Battle of New Caprica. That was fracking awesome.
Based upon the negative impact to society: Drunk driving and it's not even close.
That is not to say that illegal street racers deserve any kind of award. They are a special kind of fucking idiot. They just don't tend to kill as many people. Back in my teens, I was one of those fucking idiots. Until I witnessed a girl, about my own age, being struck and killed by a street racer.
That was the last time I ever raced on the street. I still raced, I just took the time to get my licenses and spent the money to do it on a track. Honestly, once you race on a track you realize just how stupid street racing really is on so many levels.
Popcorn is by far my favorite snack.
List of Ingredients:
Popcorn of course. I usually use locally grown red hulled popcorn, although lately I have two kids with braces so I've been using a "hulless" popcorn that is relatively safe to eat with braces.
Flavacol: The secret ingredient.
Finally the popcorn popper that I use is THIS ONE: It takes more attention than most other poppers, but it does a really great job
Fortunately, not too many people are going to see it. I have two WAPs. The upper one is on the first floor and runs at just enough power to cover the 1st and 2nd floors. The 2nd WAP is in the basement.
Get much past 100 feet from my house and it's very difficult to pick up. While some of my neighbors 4 or 5 doors down are broadcasting their WiFi at full power, one is even completely open. LOL

My wife and I had just moved 400 miles the previous year and bought a house. She started a new job and we had our first child, who apparently is the same age as you.
It was sand volleyball during the summers and hard court in the winter for me. This was in Cincinnati, which surprisingly is a HUGE volleyball town. There are a lot of places that offer summer and winter leagues of all types. I started out playing on the Cincinnati Ski Club's rec league in 1992 and played on it til 95. Post Ski Club league I played at the Cherry Grove Bowling center's sand courts, which were great. By that time I had a permanent team and played with them until I moved away from Cincy in 2006.
While sand is easier on you landing and falling, being only 5'8" I had to jump that much harder to block and spike. Kind of a trade off.
In all hard court was easier for me to play on, where I could see someone north of 6'2" would like sand.
55m here.
Was an avid volleyball player, even though I'm 5'8" (1.72m) tall. I have very strong legs and could meet a lot of 6'2" plus guys at the top of the net.
Skydiver with 4500 jumps, spent a few years doing it professionally.
Now, my knees and back are shot. I can still play volleyball, but my jumps are about half what they used to be and I need to wear knee braces. Skydiving is almost completely out, unless I jump a very soft opening canopy as I have a disk bulge that is pressing on a sciatic nerve. If I get slammed on opening that could present a LOT of issues for me.
Now I focus on those things that I can do. I've always been an avid hiker and there is a nice state park nearby. I try to hike the trails there every day. Also I keep up with working out. Weights and other exercises. I'm not trying to build muscle, just keep what I have.
Right now, I'm sitting here with a very sore back and aching muscles, due to helping out my wife's Figure Skating Club to setup for a competition this weekend. That involved moving a lot of tables, chairs, podiums and other things for 4 hours last night.
I think I'm going to take it easy today.
In the mid-90's I went with a friend to make a tandem jump, just to say I had done it.
Ended up with over 4500 jumps over the next many years.
You gotta watch that first jump.
I'm retired from skydiving now. Got married, had kids and now have a bad back.

The Sci Fi channel produced a Dune mini series in 2000. It's actually not bad. Not great, but not bad.
OMG... That's brilliant. Wish I had thought of it.
Moya could travel at Hetch 9 The Locket. She was faster than a Marauder (Hetch 7) and only slightly slower than a full Command Carrier.
Starburst was actually travel through another dimension of space. Self Inflicted Wounds
