[dba-Tech] A space light sail

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi All:

There is a new kickstarter and this one is raising funds for launching a huge solar sail for testing the next step in our solar exploration. The goal is rather modest considering how much these type of project usually cost and it appears the minimum goal has been more than made. There is of course the dream goal but this project is launching for sure:
