Sailing Through Space

 

Ever since ancient Mesopotamia, mankind has been cruising the seas using one of mother nature's richest source of energy on earth: wind. It's been a few years since these pioneers of energy free loading came up with the revolutionary idea of sailing, but we still use it, and now in ways the Mesopotamian never even imagine.



The Planetary Society's light sail has deployed! Sorry, I couldn't built on this any longer. I am too excited to think about anything else. DEPLOYMENT!!
Great job, guys!
