We're already in the corona maaaaaaaaaaaaan

And this looking for a propulsion that could move us at near the speed of light isn't going to go anywhere. Not anytime soon, at least. We don't have anything that efficient. Every time I think of it, I always get the thought of Wonkavision stuck in my head.

Photonic Laser Propulsion


Photonic Laser Propulsion has had a proof of concept demo it generated 35 micronewtons of thrust using mirrors that generated 3000 times amplification. The low power version would be great for position control of multiple satellites to nanometer precision.

UPDATE: It has been proposed that extremely small payloads (10 kg) could be delivered to Mars in only 10 days of travel time using laser-based lightsail caft (Meyer, 1984), but in order to do so, would require a 47 GW laser system. With 47,000 reflections then only a 1MW laser system would be needed. (fifty 20KW lasers). Scaling up 100 times would be able to deliver 1 ton payloads to Mars in ten days.
The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer. - Motto of the US Army Corps of Engineers

I haven't seen that. :O That's not saying much, though.

I was talking more in the space travel sense, as in there won't be a manned space mission to Mars tomorrow. But them lightsails are awesome.

Yep. Still speculative for now, but in principle it is possible. If you're interested in this subject, check out the book "Rocheworld" by Robert L. Forward. It's sci-fi, but the actual science behind the technology is sound. And much of what he assumes to be possible in the future has begun to already happen (genetic modification, AI, robotics).

Keep reading!

Most of my back is scar tissue, so I can't really feel how hot the hot water is in the shower. It just feels itchy. But then, hours later, it's still itchy and a little sore. Still is today, matter of fact.

What did you do that you needed grafts from your back? Did you get your arm caught in a drill press?

Nearly 6 1/2 years down, only 10 weeks to go. Messenger approaches ...

I will be extremely disappointed if they forgot to check if the units were consistent.
