NASA's solar sailing spacecraft is tumbling – but that's part of the plan
- foxyv 2y agoThere is just something terribly romantic about solar sails. I've loved sailing since reading a Wizard of Earthsea. The fact that you can do it in space just makes the dopamine centers in my brain light up. I can imagine astronauts cycling between Mars and Earth on huge ships with monstrous light sails.
