Solar Sailing about to start
http://www.planetary.org/news/2004/s..._set_1109.html
Arthur C. Clarke published a short story about it in 1960s called "The Wind from the Sun." Perhaps it will actually work. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
That reminds me. Remember that idiot, over in England I think, who
claimed he could use a windmill contraption aboard his boat to power the boat straight into the wind using only the power of the wind? Bwaahahhahahahahahhahhahha. That solar sail will work but only downwind or crosswind. It will never be able to go upwind. It is against the known laws of physics for a sailboat to sail directly into the wind and it's the same for solar sails.

And, it uses the solar wind to sail. We know you're dumb.

OzOne wrote in message Solar wind Mooron....or should I drop an 'o' Oh here we go... now Ozone is going to tell me about the space breezes and how to reef the space sails... Bwahahahahahahahahaaaa!! Heh Ozone.... do you think the planetary orbit might be affected by a really strong burst of "space wind".... Bwahahahahahahaaaaa!! Solar Wind.... Bwahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!! Next you'll be claiming Lunar Rain? CM |
OzOne wrote in message Oh dear, poor Moron, living in the jungle, living in the dark ages. Sheesh Ozone... you're the one claiming a Solar Wind!!!! Solar Wind... Bwahahahahahahahaaaa Tell me Ozone... do you think the Solar Sails would withstand a really good Solar Gale?? Bwahahahahahahhaaaaa CM |
Yeah, I guess NASA doesn't know what it's talking about....

What a fool. The solar wind absolutely affects the orbit. It doesn't have to
be "really strong." -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message news:sGcNd.1213$K54.365@edtnps84...
