“As we venture”
Eat it! I’m never going venture, the elites are. I’m going to keep paying for it like I always have.
Very old concept. So old I can’t remember when it was in PopSci. At least 50 years ago cause I was still a kid.
“The Wind from the Sun”...
One of my favorite Arthur C. Clarke stories.
Using solar is a responsible use of energy. Solar instead of fossil fuels is a renewable source of energy that does not emit carbon into the atmosphere of space. /Sarc.
NASA launches a new multi-billion dollar project that will only see the light of day decades later, if then.
With no keel, I wonder how it will tack to go up wind.
I hope they can keep the drawings and specs away from the Chicoms.
Question... Stargate Atlantis had an episode where on a space walk one guy got pummeled by tiny fragments of rock/asteroids... I kinda believe that close to a reality. If this solar sail did come to fruition, would space debri rip it to shreds, or since space is weightless, would the debris simply bounce off and no damage??
