Space/Science — HabitableZone

Space/Science » in reply to Pointless on so many levels...

I've waited and waited and waited...

...for a successful launch and deployment of a
genuine solar-sail for decades from someone...anyone.
This habitablezone.com website has been around
for nearly 10 years, and still no solar-sail.

The theory behind solar-sails has been known for
100+ years.

The ability to build, launch and deploy solar-sails
has been around for 50 years.

NASA is not interested. Neither is ESA, RKA, NASDA
nor any government agency.

The Planetary Society tried and failed.
I disregard the fraudulent Encounter2001 project.

So who is going to build and launch a solar-sail at last?
