LightSail is almost ready for its moment in the sun. Mission managers gave
the go-ahead for a manual solar sail deployment as early as Tuesday.

magically make space launch cheaper is nonsense -- LOX is much cheaper
than advanced airbreathing engines, and so are the tanks to put it in
and the extra thrust to carry it." - Henry Spencer
