FTL, or Faster-Than-Light, is a currently theoretical way of space travel which involves either distorting space around a ship or temporarily transitioning into an alternative dimension to achieve speeds faster than the speed of light. The most common type of FTL would be Star Wars' Hyperdrive, which transitions you into a different dimension as you approach the speed of light. Some others are the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine (or the Slipspace Drive) from Halo, Star Trek's Warp Drives and the Alcubierre drive which is currently proposed as the most likely method of FTL
"Hey bro, did you know that NASA just made a functioning FTL drive? They're sending colonists to Kepler 22b!"
