Solar Sails

There cheap and can reach a speed of half c. That means they can get
to the neaest star in 8 years. How about a solar parachute? A solar
balloon. It has the easiest engineering.Be nice if they were pushed
into deep space by lasers and from the Moon. TreBert

YOU AIN'T GOT 8 YEARS, BEERTbrainMORONIDIOT!

You ignorant moron. The nearest star is the binary system of
Alpha Centauri, 4.2LY away.
A 6.5 Million Square Feet Sail will accelerate at 1(one) millimeter
per second.

http://www.planetary.org/programs/pr...ng/whatis.html

Then, if you get a third of the way there the pressure
from Alpha Centauri, because it is a dual star system, balances the
Sun's pressure and you lose all thrust and decelerate for the next
third of the voyage. So, for the final 1/3 of the leg you'll do what ??

PS: I just love the way you think things out, BeeertBrain.

By far the best way to explore the galaxy would be with a
Von Neumann Probe. Speed would really not be a factor.

Even if it took 40,000 years to reach a star system, the
galaxy would be completely explored within a few million years.

That just another stake in the heart of alien believers.

A fusion drive with magnetic 'funnels' to draw in random
atoms of noble gasses would be a way to approach light speed.

Right you are. I am a great thinker,and my posts prove it. You are a
low wit thinker and your negative posts prove it. You try to raise
your ego by saying I'm wrong all the time. You are to stupid to get
the picture Get lost. You are an insult to humankind. TreBert

Explain "Magnetic Funnels" Be nice if we could get rid of you for 40
years O ya TreBert

*** So please explain then how you plan to "sail" against the
incoming flow of photons from Alpha Centauri A and B .... tacking ????
Bwahahahahahahahahhhh .....
Maybe you can build a huge Barrel Boat, with sails, BeeertBrain ...

Bring the sail in,an coast. Alpha Centauri has gravity. Turn on your
ion engine to slow down. Lots of luck collecting hydrogen atoms Ha Ha
Ha You are a joke. TreBert

*** You're one funny dude, BeeertBrain ... first you rail against the

then, like magic, you pull one out of your ass, 2 LYs from home to
slow you down. So ... why not use an Ion Engine from the outset ???
surely a whole lot cheaper than building a Solar sail the size of
Rhode Island in some remote location like L1, to keep it from
collapsing on itself. You are one ignorant putz.

Hagar my sail boats all have other ways than wind to go from A to B
Fact is my last boat has #1 sail #2 duck foot motor(my invention),and
an electric motor. I can use all three and they are green energy. You
are to stupid to get the picture. Bad mouth is all your posts prove.
You are a worthless turd of the universe. TreBert
