[QUOTE="Astronuc, post: 5476636, member: 15685"] No. How would one expect thrust to be generated? Or rather, how would one expect momentum of the spacecraft to change? The momentum from photons is pretty small, especially for photons in the eV range, or less. A shipboard laser requires an energy source and some power conversion system. [/QUOTE]
