So what were you originally referring to? Solar wind in space? I'm honestly confused now.

  I was actually. I rhought the parent I originally replied to was saying that solar sails aren't useful for large payloads in space.

    They overreached a tiny bit in reaction, but they were responding to someone who seemed to be proposing solar sails inside the atmosphere.

      I didn't overreach at all. Nearly all the creatures of HN just try to save face after they make invalid statements. This involves acting confused, changing the subject, or a barely clever combination of both. The desire to be correct and win what barely even counts as a debate is a contagion deeply plaguing these creatures.
