[QUOTE="beek, post: 6153923, member: 659345"] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]<Moderator's note: post split off from another thread>[/COLOR] OK I'm new here i have read all the questions and comments. the whole reason i did is because of light energy. "More photons packed in a smaller area = higher light intensity in that area". and solar sails work? so why can't scientists make a solar sail (giving them forward movement) reflect that light to a single spot giving them more "intensity" to produce more energy for more forward movement. wouldn't that give them the energy they need to reach into space farther and faster?
